summary
Acquired by the consignor from Joseph Stieglitz of Tel Aviv, who observed the workmanship of this piece to be strikingly similar to the very earliest items of Judaic silver produced by the Bezalel School of Art. It could be surmised therefore, that this unknown silversmith later joined Bezalel and helped develop it’s distinct style.
