Circa 1880. Decorated in Indian style with floral sprays and Indian palms, two handles. 24 cm diameter. This unique yet extraordinary bowl is a design from the late 19th century. In 1865, Emile-Alphonse Reiber (8126-1893) was appointed head of the design studio of Christofle. He used the company’s technical capabilities in orfevrerie, silver-plating and bronze to create novelty designs. He designed in the Greek, Indian and Renaissance style but the height of his achievement was in Japanese and Chinese style designs.
