Good sized hand hammered copper rose bowl from Newlyn with a strong repoussé design of three stylised fish swimming amongst seaweed, following each other around the body of the bowl.
The removable top has a large central aperture and no lesss than forty-eight further small holes allowing for an impressive floral display.
Standing on a flared foot and in lovely, fairly recently polished condition.
Dating from circa 1900-1910, with a clear Newlyn mark on the underside and measuring around 16 cm high to the centre of the slightly domed top. The diameter is 24.5 cm.
N.B. A photograph of a similar rose bowl to this can be seen on p. 108 of the book 'Newlyn Copper' by Daryl Bennett & Colin Pill.
