Important Cup - Vase in 800 Silver with Semi-Precious Stones – Italian XX-Century Manufacture. A Sacred and Secular Work of Great Charm

I am pleased to present at auction a refined and splendid cup (or vase) of high-quality Italian artisanal craftsmanship, coming from an important private inheritance. The object, rich in personality and intrinsic elegance, stands out for its entirely handcrafted workmanship of the highest level. Although it does not show visible hallmarks on the exterior (a characteristic of some unique pieces or commissions), the structure bears an internal label clearly guaranteeing its purity: Silver 800. Its exceptional solidity is confirmed by a net weight of about 390 grams.

Two-Sided Decoration and Hand-Wrought Construction. The peculiarity of this vase lies in the richness of the details, which show superior craftsmanship both on the upper part and at the base: The Main Body: Features a rich and dense decoration with engravings and raised floral motifs that unfold magnificently on both sides, making the object perfect for display at the center of a table or on a console.
The Settings with Semi-Precious Stones: On each of the two sides stands out a distinctive element of great visual impact: a series of cabochons in a warm blue color, set on elaborately hand-ornamented bases with floral bas-reliefs, on both sides. The vase’s foot is supported by a sumptuous openwork base, carved in relief with neoclassical volute motifs. The silver presents a beautiful warm patina of time, with browned undertones that enhance the contrasts and depth of the reliefs, testifying to the authenticity and era of the piece (full XX century).

Thanks to its medium and proportionate dimensions, this cup adapts with extraordinary versatility to any furnishing context, imparting an immediate touch of distinction, prestige, and history. Item: Dual-colored vase / decorative cup. Material: Silver 800 (hallmarked) and blue semi-precious stones. Era: XX Century. Manufacture: Italian artistic craftsmanship. Provenance: Private inheritance (all historical and material information has been verified by a trusted jeweler)

The overall condition is good, especially given the age of the piece. It shows minimal and normal signs of time that enhance its charm; for those who desire, a professional cleaning with specific silver care products will restore the original silvery brightness. Please examine the photo gallery carefully. There is a missing blue stone on both sides and slight nicks as shown in the photos.
