The large serving bowl is adorned with Medallions depicting a goddess or young woman in flowing garments. All three pieces have the same base design with tableaus of figures and trees, and the bottom of one of the candle sticks is inscribed ‘CONSULTING THE ORACLE’, no doubt referring to the scene depicted on all three pieces (there is also an 1884 painting by classical Realist Painting Master J.W. Waterhouse of the same name) All three pieces are signed and marked HM /S STERLING / 925 – 1000 / 450K.
