Small sterling silver fruit bowl, designed as a decorative piece with a strong sculptural presence despite its small size. The base, with a polyhedral and hollow profile, features fluted detailing that provides visual rhythm and stability.

Rising from the base is a figurative swan-shaped stem, carefully chiseled (body, wings, and head), which serves as the piece’s central and structural element. Above it rests the bowl, also fluted, flanked by two richly modeled side handles that enhance its ornamental character.

Beneath the base are the official hallmarks, including the star that has guaranteed sterling silver in Spain since 1934, confirming the quality of the metal and its place within 20th-century Spanish silversmithing. An ideal piece for display or for occasional use at the table.
