The article describes it as “huge,” but then goes on to say it is 1 foot in diameter and weighs 4 pounds. I’ve seen stuff in museums that were 3-4 times that size. Louis XIV of France had furniture made from silver.
True enough, but I believe for American silver of that period, it is a large piece.
It is a beautiful piece regardless of it’s size. I’d love to know what it sells for.
