Description

A vintage pewter and brass bowl made in Hong Kong. The bowl features an inlaid brass symbol known as the "double happiness" symbol (囍), a traditional Chinese character representing joy and marriage. The bowl is primarily made of pewter with brass decoration. Some similar items are described as having a porcelain body encased in pewter. These types of bowls were often made for export by companies such as Gump's San Francisco and were used as decorative pieces, trinket dishes, or for serving. Marked "Hong Kong" at underside. H: 2.95" | W: 6.1" | L: 6.1" Good condition.
