Bowl no. 630 in the Musée des Arts décoratifs exhibition is given to the silversmith J. Stalh. The state of knowledge described as "imperfect" in the preface to the exhibition catalog, the absence of any Strasbourg vermeil-covered bowl in the 1955 sale and in the Niarchos donation, and the similarity of the initials, enable us to link this bowl to the one described under no. 630 in the exhibition.
