Leonard Silver-Plated Footed Bowl or Dish

This is a small, spherical-based vessel crafted from silver-plated base metal, held in an inverted position showing the hallmarks on the underside. The item features a high-polish, reflective mirror finish typical of decorative silver-plate hollowware. It is supported by four distinct, cast pedestal-style feet, which are likely made of white metal or zinc alloy before plating and appear to be soldered or braised to the main body. The base is clearly stamped with the 'Leonard' script hallmark, followed by 'SILVER PLATED' and the origin 'HONG KONG'. The construction suggests a late 20th-century production, likely between the 1970s and 1990s, when Leonard Silver Mfg. Co. mass-produced various giftware. The item shows light surface scratching and minor areas of tarnish or oxidization around the joints of the feet and the perimeter of the base, though it retains much of its original luster. Two ornate handles are partially visible on the sides, indicating this is likely a small sugar bowl, candy dish, or decorative centerpiece. The craftsmanship is consistent with commercial grade mass-produced silver-plate common in the mid-to-late 20th century.
