EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Silver Christening Bowl by Paul Ward dates back to the 1940s, a captivating piece of American art from the mid-20th century. The bowl, created by the talented artist Paul Ward, is a stunning example of decorative arts from this era. The bowl's surface is adorned with intricate engravings, expertly crafted in silver, showcasing Paul Ward's exceptional skill in metalwork. The bowl's design is a beautiful fusion of modern and traditional elements, reflecting the cultural milieu of the 1940s. The use of graphite and pen and ink on paperboard in the creation of the engravings adds an unexpected yet delightful contrast to the primarily silver composition. This Silver Christening Bowl was created during a significant period in American history, a time of change and growth. The 1940s were marked by the United States' entry into World War II, the post-war economic boom, and the emergence of new artistic movements. This piece, with its thoughtful design and masterful execution, is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture the essence of a time and place. The bowl's religious significance is evident in its use as a christening vessel, a symbol of the Christian faith and the beginning of a new life. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where this piece is housed, is a fitting location for this heritage artifact, as it serves to preserve and showcase the rich cultural heritage of the United States. This Silver Christening Bowl by Paul Ward is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable piece of American history, a reminder of the country's artistic and cultural traditions during the 1940s.
