RUSSIAN SILVER BOWL WITH PLIQUE-À-JOUR ENAMEL. KHLEBNIKOV FIRM. MOSCOW, EARLY 20TH CENTURY

An elegant lobed silver bowl executed in plique-à-jour enamel over filigree, representing a refined example of Moscow jewellers’ art of the early 20th century. The body is composed of rhythmically alternating petal-shaped segments divided by smooth convex ribs, creating an architecturally structured silhouette.

Each panel is adorned with stylised foliate scrollwork rendered in a насыщенной palette of cobalt blue, emerald green, ruby red and milky white tones. The translucent enamel produces an effect of inner luminosity characteristic of the plique-à-jour technique. A delicate twisted rope border frames the segments, enhancing the graphic precision and decorative rhythm. The bowl rests on a low circular foot providing stability and formal balance.

The piece demonstrates the high level of enamelling craftsmanship achieved by the Khlebnikov firm, combining traditions of the Russian Revival style with the refined aesthetics of the Modern period.
