Handled bowl, 13 lot silver, vine leaf and grape rim, branch-work handle, gilt inside, 19th century 13 lot silver, gilt inside, handled bowl, also handled basket, 19th century. Hallmarked "13" on the outside of the foot ring, further marks on the foot ring, illegible. Oval bowl with gadrooned wall on oval foot ring, rim as an encircling, relief-like and pierced wreath of vine leaves, grapes and tendrils, braided, movable swing handle of two intertwined strands in branch-work form with bark texture, attached on both sides by joints on spherical knops. Very good condition commensurate with age. 8x28x22 cm (HxWxD), weight 409 g. The mark "13" indicates the fineness in lot: before the introduction of millesimal marks the fineness of silver was given in lot, with 16 lot corresponding to fine silver and 13 lot to a fineness of 812.5 thousandths. In Germany the Act on the Fineness of Gold and Silver Wares of 16 July 1884, in force from 1 January 1888, regulated marking in thousandths, whereby lot and carat marks became inadmissible. Handled bowls and handled baskets with a relief vine leaf and grape rim were part of table silver in the Biedermeier and Historicism periods. Filled with grapes, such a grape bowl served as a table centrepiece; the form was also used as a fruit bowl and as a sweetmeat dish for confectionery. German Description Henkelschale 13 Lot Silber, Weinlaub- und Traubenrand, Astwerkhenkel, innen vergoldet, 19. Jh. 13-lötiges Silber, innen vergoldet, Henkelschale, auch Henkelkorb, 19. Jh. Am Standring außen gepunzt „13“, weitere Zeichen am Standring, nicht lesbar. Ovale Schale mit godronierter Wandung auf ovalem Standring, Rand als umlaufender, reliefartiger und durchbrochener Kranz aus Weinlaub, Trauben und Ranken, geflochtener, beweglicher Bügelhenkel aus zwei verschlungenen Strängen in Astwerkform mit Rindenstruktur, beidseitig in Gelenken auf kugeligen Knäufen angesetzt. Altersgemäß sehr guter Zustand. 8x28x22 cm (HxBxT), G. 409 g. Die Punze „13“ ist eine Lötigkeitsangabe: Vor Einführung der Tausendstelstempel wurde der Feingehalt von Silber in Lot angegeben, wobei 16 Lot dem Feinsilber entsprechen und 13 Lot einem Feingehalt von 812,5 Tausendsteln. In Deutschland regelte das Gesetz über den Feingehalt der Gold- und Silberwaren vom 16. Juli 1884, in Kraft ab 1. Januar 1888, die Stempelung in Tausendsteln, womit die Lot- und Karatstempel unzulässig wurden. Henkelschalen und Henkelkörbe mit reliefiertem Weinlaub- und Traubenrand gehörten im Biedermeier und Historismus zum Tafelsilber. Mit Trauben gefüllt diente eine solche Traubenschale als Tafelaufsatz, daneben wurde die Form als Obstschale und als Konfektschale für Süßwaren genutzt.
