Montgomery Three Nut Bowl

A cluster of three gleaming cups, joined at one ring and ready to be passed around.

This three nut bowl in plated silver and brass is by Ralph Lauren. Brass is a durable copper and zinc alloy, and silver plating over brass is a long-established method for making tableware that looks bright and polishes well. Three round-bottomed bowls with smooth, flaring sides are attached to a central loop at the top. The surfaces are polished to a bright reflective finish, with no ornament beyond their shape. It is 2 inches high and 8.5 in diameter.

A tidy arrangement for people who dislike double-dipping.
