EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Silver Christening Bowl, created by Horace Reina in 1936, is a beautiful example of American decorative arts from the 1930s. The bowl, which measures approximately 11 inches in diameter and is made of sterling silver, is adorned with intricate engravings and an inscription that reads, "For the Christening of [Name], May God Bless This Child with Health, Happiness, and Prosperity." Horace Reina, an accomplished artist and silversmith, expertly crafted this piece, showcasing his mastery of the medium. The bowl's exterior is adorned with a series of interconnected geometric shapes, while the interior features a delicate floral design. The contrast between the bold exterior and the delicate interior is a testament to Reina's skill and artistic vision. This Silver Christening Bowl is a significant addition to any art or cultural heritage collection, reflecting the rich history and traditions of American art and Christianity. It is a period item that transports us back to a time when such ceremonial objects held great cultural and religious significance. The bowl is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., a renowned institution dedicated to preserving and showcasing art from various periods and cultures. The National Gallery of Art's Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts, includes a record of this bowl, further highlighting its historical and artistic importance. This Silver Christening Bowl is not only a beautiful work of art but also a testament to the enduring power of tradition and the role of art in celebrating life's most significant moments. Its intricate design, engravings, and inscription make it a truly unique and cherished piece.
