EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Silver Christening Bowl, created by American artist Paul Ward in 1937, is a stunning example of decorative arts from the 1930s. The bowl, which measures approximately 12 inches in diameter and is made of sterling silver, is intricately engraved with intricate floral and geometric designs. The artist's deft use of graphite and pen and ink on paperboard as a guide for the engraver adds an additional layer of artistic expression to this beautiful piece. The Silver Christening Bowl was a popular item in the United States during the 20th century, used in religious ceremonies to welcome newborn infants into the Christian faith. This particular bowl, with its elegant and timeless design, would have been a cherished heirloom in any family. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is home to this significant piece of American art and cultural heritage. The Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts from the Colonial period to the 1940s, includes an entry on this bowl, attesting to its historical importance. The Silver Christening Bowl is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural traditions of the United States during the 1930s, a time of economic hardship and artistic innovation. Paul Ward's masterful design and craftsmanship continue to captivate viewers and inspire appreciation for the beauty and significance of this period item.
