Grand French Silver-Plated Pumpkin Bonbonnière Dish (Saint-Médard / Dior Workshop)
A striking and exceptionally generous vintage silver-plated bonbonnière, masterfully executed in the sculptural form of an articulated pumpkin. Dating to the 1970s, this piece effortlessly bridges whimsical natural forms with high-end, reflective modernist tableware design.Features a heavily lobed, satisfyingly bulbous body topped with a perfectly fitted removable lid.The piece is crowned with an organically textured, realistically sculpted stem handle that offers a beautiful tactile contrast to the smooth, mirror-polished silver plate.
Considerably larger than the standard tabletop editions of this form, its grand 21 cm scale makes it a powerful standalone sculpture, ideal as a statement center bowl, vide-poche, jewelry box, or elegant covered serving dish. Markings & Provenance Note Workshop Hallmark: The underside is struck with the crisp, distinctive master-silversmith hallmark of Orfèvrerie Saint-Médard, depicting a lighthouse flanked by dolphins alongside a standard SILVER-PLATED stamp.
The Dior Connection: This exact Saint-Médard hallmark is identical to the maker's marks found on the highly celebrated, smaller 1970s pumpkin table accessories commissioned for the Dior Home collection. While this grander, rare 21cm iteration does not bear the facsimile Dior signature, the shared archival hallmark firmly places its manufacture within the very same elite Parisian workshop production run. Specifications Diameter: 24 cm Height: 11 cm (17 cm including the stem) Period: Circa 1970s (Mid-Century Modern / Hollywood Regency) Origin: France Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The silver-plated surfaces maintain an exceptional mirror shine, showing only minor, expected signs of light surface scratches and faint wear consistent with age and display.
