HISTORIC SILVER BOWL. Very unusual silver bowl appears to be from Thailand with a band of embossed reposed shields with figures of Thai stylized Buddha’s. Bottom of the bowl is engraved with floral design. Engraved below the Buddha shields is the inscription “To Elizabeth Hamilton Lyon From Mr. & Mrs. Alexander Graham Bell Feb. 9. 1922”. Research shows that Ms. Hamilton Lyon was the daughter of Edmund Lyon, a noted philanthropist who did extensive work with the deaf in New York State. Through this work he became close friends with Alexander Graham Bell. SIZE: 8-1/4” dia x 4-3/4” t.
