This is illustrated in an article on Norman Bassant in 'Goldsmiths' Review' 1998/9. Norman Bassant (born 1932) was apprenticed to R E Stone in 1947 and this bowl was made as his Masterpiece in 1950, won an Arts Council award and was purchased by the Goldsmiths and Silversmiths Company. They subsequently sold it as a presentation piece which still bears the inscription: 'Presented to Lord Riverdale by his colleagues as a token of friendship and gratitude for his services on the Board of The Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Co Ltd January 1952' Seven board member facsimile signatures engraved around rim. I spoke to Norman about this and he made it in Stone's workshop on Saturday mornings and during day release at the Central School of Arts and Crafts. Illustrated in my book Designer British Silver. Now in The Keatley Trust
