Antique Silver Mounted Cut Crystal Vase
What a find! We think the sparkle of crystal & soft patina of silver go so well together, don't you agree? The lower body of this Victorian tapered crystal vase has been cut with a highly reflective hobnail design whist the plain upper body perfectly enhances the applied silver mount which is engraved with a bright silver frieze. With or without flowers; think the soft glow of candlelight or the bright glint of sunshine!
Fully hallmarked: Birmingham. 1881 by H.W & Co - NB The rim is also part-marked.
Condition: Good. There are a few tiny chips to the high spots on the crystal but you need a magnifying glass to see them. The mount is cemented and glued to the rim (original). There is slight wear to the engraving commensurate with age.
Ht: 15cms
Diameter of rim: 8.5cms
Price £115.00
