Italian 800 Silver French Empire Sugar Bowl Mercury Head Handles



Early 20th century Italian 800 silver sugar bowl. Done in the French Empire style the handles feature profiles facing each other, that appear to be winged (The god Mercury?).
The little urn shaped sugar bowl stands 4 inches tall and is 5 1/2 inches from winged head to winged head. Marked 800 on the bottom. It is missing its lid, but would make an adorable plant holder.
Very unusual piece.
Weighs a smidge over 5 ounces.

$125
