The base, with a polygonal hollow profile, features fluted work that provides visual rhythm and stability to the whole. From the base rises a figurative stem in the shape of a swan, carefully worked with a burin, with definition in the body, wings and head, acting as the central structural element of the piece. Above it is the upper cup, also fluted, flanked by two richly molded side handles, reinforcing the ornamental character of the fruit holder. On the base you can see the official hallmarks, including the star corresponding to the sterling silver mark in Spain since 1934, which confirms the quality of the material and its production within the framework of Spanish silversmithing of the 20th century. It is an ideal piece both as a display decorative object and for occasional use on the table.
