Okay, so this is a Glen silver plated footed bowl from around 1910, and it's standing on three fancy little feet like it owns the place. Which, honestly, it kind of does. Made in England with proper hallmarks, a decorative pierced rim that screams "I'm fancy," and enough Edwardian swagger to make your IKEA stuff feel inadequate.
The plot twist:
Someone definitely kept a plant in this thing. Maybe a succulent. Maybe a fern. Who knows. The point is, the inside has that "I've lived a full life" patina going on. But here's the thing - the outside is gorgeous. Shiny, elegant, ready for its close-up. And the fact that it's been used for plants just proves how versatile this bowl is. Fruit? Sure. Flowers? Absolutely. Your keys and random receipts? Why not. This bowl has seen things and it's still here looking fabulous.
What makes it special:
- Glen hallmarks and "Made in England" - the real deal, not some knockoff from a flea market (though we love those too)
- Decorative pierced rim - that chain-link pattern is chef's kiss
- Three ornate feet - because regular bowls just sit there like peasants. This one stands tall.
- Perfect size - big enough to be useful, small enough not to dominate your entire table
- Edwardian era vibes - when design was elegant but not over-the-top Victorian crazy
The details:
- Dimensions: 18 cm diameter x 8.5 cm height
- Weight: 368 grams - feels substantial, not flimsy
- Material: Silver plated metal
- Maker: Glen, Made in England
- Era: circa 1910
- Condition: Exterior is stunning. Interior has character marks from its previous life as a planter. Still totally functional and way cooler than anything new.
Why you want this:
Because it's a 115-year-old English bowl on fancy feet that's already proven it can handle whatever you throw at it. Plants, fruit, your grandmother's jewelry collection, whatever. The outside looks like a million bucks, and the inside tells a story. Plus, those little feet make it look like it's about to prance off your shelf, and that's just delightful.
Perfect for people who appreciate things with history, personality, and the ability to make modern decor look boring by comparison.
