Ornate Centerpiece Bowl with Handles and Feet

This item is a silver-plated or pewter centerpiece bowl, characterized by its elongated, undulating form. The material appears to be a tarnished silver-colored metal, exhibiting significant dark patination and discoloration, particularly within the recessed areas of its interior and exterior, as well as showing some brighter, polished or worn-through spots. Its construction features a boat-like or kidney shape with a fluted or scalloped rim. Two ornate handles, each with a scrolled or foliate design, are attached to the shorter ends of the bowl, crafted from the same dark metal or having a heavily tarnished appearance. The bowl stands on four distinct feet, visible from the front and back views; these feet have a stylized animal paw or robust scroll design. One of the feet is visibly bent inwards or misshapen, indicating a structural flaw or past damage. The overall aesthetic suggests a late 19th to early 20th-century period, possibly Art Nouveau or Victorian, given the organic curves and decorative handles. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures in the provided images. The craftsmanship, though showing age and wear, appears to be of moderate quality, intended for display or serving.
