A BURMESE SILVER BOWL, RANGOON OR MANDALAY, CIRCA 1900 of 'Thabeik' form, richly chased with a frieze of scenes from Burmese legends including royal figures and kinnaris below foliate arcading and a corded border and above a stylised leaf border, the underside flat-chased with a peacock on a matted ground roundel with punched scroll border, 20cm diameter, 813g Wynyard Wilkinson states ‘There are a number of variations of 'peacock' signatures, probably referring to different makers, all of whom are indirectly claiming past royal patronage. Pieces signed by the 'peacock' makers are always of very good quality workmanship’ (‘Indian Silver 1858-1947’, London, 1999, p.41). The peacock medallion was the emblem of the Konbaung dynasty.
