DALLAS, TX.- The 9K gold centerbowl presented to Queen Elizabeth II’s grandparents, the Earl and Countess of Strathmore, could bring $80,000 or more in Heritage Auctions’ Fine Silver & Objects of Fine Vertu Auction May 5 in Dallas, Texas.

The waisted, ovoid bowl by Rattray & Co. (estimate: $60,000-80,000) was presented to the Earl and Countess of Strathmore, parents to Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, Queen Consort to George VI of England and Queen Mother to Elizabeth II, Sept. 30, 1931 at their home, Glamis Castle, by a deputation of the city of Dundee in honor of their golden wedding anniversary.

“We are pleased to offer this historically significant Rattray & Co. presentation bowl,” Heritage Auctions Silver and Decorative Arts Director Karen Rigdon said. “This gift celebrating family is all the more meaningful, using Celtic motifs of dragons and knots reflecting the family’s Scottish heritage.”

A Hermann Ratzersdorfer Gem-Set, Partial Gilt, and Enameled Silver-Mounted and Engraved Rock Crystal Figural Tazza, Vienna, circa 1880 (estimate: $30,000-50,000) comes from an important estate in Akron, Ohio. The tazza features an enameled cast satyr figure based on a print by Cornelis Floris. Resting on his head is a spade-form rock crystal bowl engraved with scrolled foliage and set in silver mounts with grotesque masques and a dragon-form handle with outstretched wings and a meandering tail, all enhanced with white, red and green enamel.

From a New York City estate, a Pair of Tiffany & Co. 14K Gold Candlesticks, New York, circa 1948 (estimate: $30,000-50,000) was commissioned along with a Tiffany & Co. 14K Gold Center Bowl, New York, circa 1948 (estimate: $30,000-50,000) by a New York City industrialist who gave them to his wife in 1948 as a birthday gift. Each candlestick and the bowl are monogram “BJC” and to the underside inscribed “March 16, 1948.”
