Description from the seller

Rare Victorian crystal and silver-plated libation vase – English manufacture

An exceptional libation vase of striking presence, crafted from fine crystal and beautifully adorned with silver plating. This remarkable piece embodies the timeless elegance of European craftsmanship, with stylistic echoes of Dutch silversmith excellence combined with the refined aesthetic of 19th-century English production.

The luminous crystal body is enhanced by a finely detailed silver-plated mount, executed with outstanding precision. The delicate miniature decorations, intricately worked, reflect a high level of artisanal mastery that is increasingly rare to find today.

Attributed to the Victorian period, this vase stands out for its remarkable charm and distinguished character. Its unusual form, combined with the quality of the crystal, makes it a particularly scarce and desirable piece on the market.

The absence of hallmarks is consistent with its age and with certain historical productions intended for export or decorative purposes, which were not always officially marked. 768 grams
