The crystal insert features delicate faceted star motifs whose subtle reflections play with the light, set within a 25 cm diameter circular tray. Two opposing handles in the form of finely chiseled vine tendrils, adorned with leaves and bunches of grapes, elegantly frame the piece. A central silver-plated medallion echoes this same vegetal motif, a hallmark of the naturalist taste of 1900.

The reverse shows slight wear and a few scratches, consistent with the piece's age and indicative of previous use—a mark of authenticity that copies can never replicate.

Dimensions: 40 x 33 cm, height 4 cm, weight 3 kg.
