Antique 1899 Sterling Silver Repousse Glass Epergne Vase Posy Holder Victorian
PLEASE take time to read all this below. Here is an antique sterling silver and clear glass epergne vase or posy holder. The sterling silver is embossed repousse decoration, with pierce work and with a blank cartouche. The glass vase has a ruffled top rim, and removes and sits back into its holder nicely.
The glass has a slight twist decoration to it. It measures approx 6 inches in total height. The silver base weighs 41.5 grams. Would make a nice pressie.
In overall good condition, no chips or cracks in the glass vase other than a small chip in the base of the polished glass and some scuffs on the glass surface where it sits in the silver. I cannot see any splits in the silver. The circular base is a little out of shape causing the vase to have a small wobble. Otherwise just needs a good clean on the silver. Many items have old collectors labels on which I have left on as they make the items a little more interesting....Some have their own dates as well on the pottery, dates include as early as 1907 and 1913 when they have been bought from where ever, private sales or auctions over the years.. And the person that once owned them has written these dates on the item using pencil or even water colour paint.. I only found out when it washed off....
