This silver bowl is monchrome with a thin yet wide unpolished body sitting juxtaposed on shiny, intricately designed feet. The bottom part of the feet support the bowl flat, inwardly curling tendrils and attach to longer, decorative piece with curling tendril motif. The longer portion of the leg hugs the bowls body in a slender arc, and then transitions into intricate animal form. The top of the decorative leg is a realistic bird's neck and head that creates two gentle arcs where the leg meets the bowl's body. The swan-like neck tapers upward and in thickness, its open beak with realistic eye and simple feathers along the top and bottom. The top of the head has a feather stretching to a circular knob, nearly meeting the top edge of the bowl's body.

This owl looks remarkably like a silver sculpture but is in fact a cocktail shaker. Perched on a detachable base, the owl is sleek in design but fairly true-to-form in the animal's features and overall sculptural style. It is monochrome, has a smooth surface, and you can see layers of feathers on its head, at the bottom of its wings, and near its feet. There is a small indentation around its neck to suggest that is where you can remove the top and mix the drink in its body.

This object was made by Wiener Werkstätte.

A vase with a silver exterior and silver gilded interior that flares at the top and bottom with a small circular relief design appearing as if it were hammered with a small tool similar to a repoussé-like texture. The vase has an undulating top edge that creates a gentle lip where the gilded interior is exposed. The body is detailed with low relief leaves and flowers with center gemstones elegantly connected with vines that surround the vase. An isolated three dimensional bee encrusted with two gemstones walks on the interior lip while a gilded bee with two jewels explores the body of the vase. Toward the bottom of the vase are four bands of different textures; a narrow unadorned shiny silver band, a wider hammered band, an unreflective equally wide band with a continuous curling vine and a thinner hammered band with a shiny angular unadorned base.

This is an electroformed silver evening purse lined in vermeil. It has been cast to look like chrysanthemum petals on the outside and indented from the petals on the inside. There is also silver mesh attached to the sides of the purse to limit the amount the bag can open and thus precluding it spilling its contents. The silver chain is removable, allowing the purse to be held as a clutch.
