Engraved Silverplate Presentation Bowl – Ohio Deans of Schools of Business

Description :
This classic silverplate presentation bowl features engraved dedications on both sides: one reading “Ohio Deans of Schools of Business,” and the other bearing the name “Paul R. Anders.” The bowl is crafted in a traditional footed form with a gently flared rim, commonly used in academic or institutional ceremonies from the mid-20th century. It shows moderate tarnishing consistent with age, and could be polished to restore its original shine or left as-is for a more authentic patina. A unique historical item with ties to academic recognition, perfect as a decorative accent or collectible.
