Featured Just lids

Maybe the bottoms come out on the shelf next week? The inner lip is curved in. Am I looking for a bowl form?

No maker's mark. Maybe the edge engraving is a bee or fly.

How am I ever going to polish the pomegranates?

 

Bowl form - likely. However keep in mind that it might also look like a soup tureen.

Edit - just realized how small they are. Scratch tureen.

 

Perhaps they are from storage jars or canisters....looks Moorish or a design from India.

 

Maybe Malaysia or Sumatra (Indonesia).
If you can't find matching bowls, try them on blue and white Chinese porcelain bowls. I've seen similar lids on Chinese bowls.
@Silver Wolf , what do you think?

 

it looks like silver?the style looks like peranakan betel nut,but i think it can also be indian

The finial reminded me of Peranakan as well, but the Peranakan style is usually highly decorated.
The round inside rims suggest that they sat on something round, not lobed?

Gorgeous set in the link.

 

could be chinese peach or pomegranate?
you could use them as covers for steaming cups/mugs of tea or coffee or milo or etc. very common where i am. shops still sell separate lids for this purpose. forgot to say that they also keep the flies/bugs from "diving" into the cup

 

yes i think this is not exactly peranakan,maybe part of indian silver ware?what kind of fruit in its above?

 

ahh just a cup's lids it is,are you from malaysia phaik hooi?

 

Ah, so my guess of Malaysia was right. Chinese porcelain too? I've seen them on Chinese porcelain bowls.

 

Hi Terry,
Use a very soft toothbrush. If you want send them to me. Ill polish them up and resend them to you. Haggarty"s silver cream is better and a hell of a lot cheaper than Simethicream.

I got one somewhat done

I think the 'flies' are supposed to be flowers. They don't really look like pomegranate flowers but fruit do.

 

yep, Penang, Malaysia

 

likely to have had a similar base eg: something like this sans porcelain would be just lovely

ahhh a neighbour!

 

That casting surely must be pewter

 

it's silver: i will tell them elves to polish it before taking photos next time
11 days to christmas: season's greetings, happy holidays and all that!!

 

For betelnut and leaf use. Can be any shape the artist wants to give it.
