Description:

Offered is a very unique piece with some history. It is a silver plated presentation piece that we believe is a twin handled punch bowl with an etched decorative crystal container. On top is an insert for the ladle in the lid, with gold wash finial in addition to a plaque affixed to the side that is written in German. Loosely translated it says "Given to *** 23 May, 1916 from the Bureau of Revision Personnel of the factory CIA by permission of the King. Artillery Works Spandau Germany". What we know to be true is that Spandau, which is in Western Berlin, was the home to Spandau Arsenal, who made all of the military arms from 1850 until the Treaty of Versailles shut it down in 1918 after the war ended. Perhaps this piece was a nice addition to the trophy case from King Wilhelm II during the middle of the First World War? Whatever it is, it is unique. Condition wise, the etched crystal insert is perfect, the metal body and lid is complete and without flaw. As you can see in the photos, there is wear on the plate with copper showing through and a lot of tarnish as well. It is a large piece measuring 19" tall to the top of the finial and is 13" wide.
