L. E. Smith Handled Bowl w/ Unknown Silver Overlay
L. E. Smith Handled Bowl w/ Unknown Silver Overlay
The bowl is 5.5" across with 6 panels. The worn overlay shows an elk or moose and another animal in a rounded medallion or cartouche, with clusters of flowers on either side. The overlay decoration is unknown, but possibly by L. E. Smith.
There are some similarities to Liberty Works "Egg Harbor." However, all of the Liberty "Egg Harbor" pieces have the panels clearly defined, whereas this bowl does not have this feature.
Liberty and L. E. Smith handles are very close, if not identical, and for the small bowl, the handles will be more rounded, because of the size.
