Description from the seller

This elegant antique silver vase, neoclassically inspired and heirloom, presents itself as a refined cup of fine Italian craftsmanship. Its intrinsic elegance immediately captures attention, making it an object of undeniable charm for lovers of vintage silverware. The handle, always floral-themed, is S-shaped.

Small to medium in size, it adapts versitably to different interiors, imparting a touch of distinction, beauty and prestige. The object is richly decorated with floral engravings that adorn the main body. A distinctive element is represented by three stones in a warm blue and green color, applied on the sides and resting on elaborately hand-engraved bases with additional floral engravings and 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 was identified, I could not verify the maker, and another inscription clearly reads "Argento 800", suggesting an early 20th-century dating. This rare and splendid cup is capable of infusing an atmosphere of unique elegance into the room where it is placed.

Overall condition is good, considering the object's age, with possible minimal signs of wear, removable 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. Packaging will be done with the utmost professional care.
