These are bronze bowls with marble base, possibly decorative, typical of a neoclassical or historicist style of the 20th century. Their design features an elaborate dish with detailed reliefs on the surface, which seem to illustrate scenes or ornamental motifs. The bases, made of marble, offer an elegant contrast to the gilded bronze, emphasizing the solidity and sophistication of the material. The supports have ornamental decorations, probably inspired by classical or Renaissance art, with details that allude to the opulence and refined taste of the period.
These pieces were common as decorative elements in elegant interiors, both for display in salons and for serving fruit or sweets on special occasions. Their combination of bronze and marble reflects a balance between luxury and durability, characteristics appreciated in decorative objects of this type.
