RUSSIAN SILVER SWEETMEAT BOWL. ERIK AUGUST KOLLIN. ST PETERSBURG, 1887

An elegant Russian silver sweetmeat bowl raised on a high profiled foot and fitted with a movable arched handle, crafted in St Petersburg in 1887 by Erik August Kollin, one of the principal master craftsmen associated with the House of Carl Fabergé. The composition is distinguished by clarity of silhouette and restrained refinement, characteristic of the St Petersburg silver school of the late 19th century.

The oval bowl, with a smoothly polished interior, is framed by a broad rim finely engraved with delicate burin work. The ornament is composed of symmetrical floral garlands and stylised vegetal motifs, enriched with geometric interlace elements reminiscent of Pan-Slavic decorative patterns. The edge is accentuated by a beaded border. The movable handle, adorned with spherical terminals and a central collar, lends the piece a ceremonial elegance while preserving its functional purpose.

The object demonstrates a high standard of silver craftsmanship: precise engraving, carefully fitted handle joints and well-balanced proportions of foot and base attest to the work of an accomplished workshop connected with the Fabergé circle.
