AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This elegant antique silver vase, neoclassical in inspiration and from an inheritance, presents itself as a refined Italian-made cup of high craftsmanship. Its intrinsic elegance immediately draws attention, making it a charming object for connoisseurs of vintage silverware. The handle remains floral-themed in shape like an S.

Small to medium in size, it adapts with versatility to different interior settings, adding a touch of distinction, beauty, and prestige. The piece is richly decorated with floral engravings that adorn the main body. A distinctive element is represented by three stones in a warm blue-green color, mounted on the sides and resting on elaborate hand-engraved bases with additional engravings and floral bas-reliefs. I am not an expert, and all information comes from a jeweler.

The quality of workmanship and the fineness of the details attest to a high-level production. Although no external hallmark could be found, I could not verify the manufacturer, and the other inscription clearly reads "Argento 800," suggesting dating to the early 20th century. This rare and splendid cup is capable of infusing a unique atmosphere of elegance into the room where it is placed.

Overall condition is good, considering the object's age, with minor signs of wear which could be eliminated with professional cleaning, as shown in the photos. Shipping will be entrusted to a well-known carrier with tracking service and insurance for the full value. The packaging will be prepared with the utmost professional care.
