Note du spécialiste

This model of bowl was first shown at the New York World's Fair of 1939, as part of Tiffany’s display of Art Deco in the House of Jewels. The design is attributed to Tiffany’s Norwegian designer Olaf Wilford (1894-1980) who created a pair of gilt salad servers in 1937. The model was a popular success and remained in production until the early 1950s. Examples of these salad bowl and servers are in the collection of The Dallas Museum of Art, and are illustrated in Jewel Stern, Modernism in American Silver, 2005, p. 177.
