Rare 3-piece Edwardian crystal glass set with sterling silver mounting – Chester, England 1906

Up for auction is an exquisite, three-piece ensemble of heavy, artistically cut crystal glass with fine sterling silver mounting.

Slim solitaire vase / bud vase (left): Classic miniature vase with delicate cross-cut and a fitted sterling silver cuff at the upper rim.
