if "museum quality" interests you --
that is, the kind that's defined by
museums rather than over-zealous
sellers who believe an item is rare
simply because none can be found
in Google that
particular
day....
please consider our Barbour Silver
Co. planished sterling silver flared
footed 125C taza/bowl that's
shown in Gallery 706 of New York
City's Metropolitan Museum of
Art which the MET selected many
years ago
to represent 1930's
American
silver design, saying:
"...Its clean lines and stylized leaf
ornament reflect the strong
Scandinavian influence prevalent
in American silver by the early
1930s."
