Likely crafted in France or Italy circa 1960, the bowl is fashioned from carved rock crystal, distinguished by its lobed, melon-like segmentation and subtly veined surface. It rests on a fluted silver or silver-plated base with a bright polish, enhancing its architectural character. The upper rim is banded with a finely detailed silver frieze featuring a Greek key (meander) motif, adding a refined neoclassical flourish. The combination of cool crystal and gleaming silver lends the piece both visual contrast and timeless elegance. With its harmonious proportions and classical detailing, this centerpiece bowl would be ideal for a formal dining room, console table, or as a luxurious accent in a curated collection. Minor surface wear is consistent with age, while the overall condition appears well-preserved.
