Important Cup - Silver Vase 800 with Semi-Precious Stones – Italian Craftsmanship of the 20th Century. A Sacred and Secular Work of Great Charm

I am pleased to present at auction a refined and splendid cup (or vase) of fine Italian artisanal manufacture, coming from an important private heritage. The object, rich in personality and intrinsic elegance, stands out for its entirely handmade workmanship of the highest level. Although it shows no visible hallmarks on the exterior (a typical feature of some unique pieces or commissions), the piece bears an inner label clearly attesting its purity: Silver 800. The confirmation of its exceptional consistency is given by its net weight of about 390 grams.

Two-sided Decoration and Handcraftsmanship. The peculiarity of this vase lies in the richness of the details, which show superior execution quality on both the upper part and the base:
The Main Body: It features a rich and dense decoration with engravings and reliefs of floral motifs that unfold magnificently on both sides, making the object perfect to be displayed at the center of a table or on a sideboard.
The Mounts with Semi-Precious Stones: On each of the two sides stands a distinctive, visually striking element: a series of cabochons in a warm blue color, set into elaborate hand-engraved bases with floral bas-reliefs, on both sides. The vase’s foot is supported by a sumptuous openwork base worked in relief with neoclassical scroll motifs. The silver displays a beautiful warm patina of time, with brownish tints that emphasize the contrasts and depth of the bas-reliefs, testifying to the authenticity and era of the piece (full 20th century).

Thanks to its medium and well-proportioned dimensions, this cup adapts with extraordinary versatility to any interior decor, imparting an immediate touch of distinction, prestige, and history. Item: Two-faced vase / decorative cup. Material: Silver 800 (certified by hallmark) and blue semi-precious stones. Era: 20th Century. Craftsmanship: Italian artistic artisanry. Provenance: Private heritage (all historical and material information has been verified by a trusted jeweler)

The general conditions are good, especially considering the object’s age. It shows minimal and normal signs of time that enhance its charm; for those who wish, a professional cleaning with specific silver-care products will restore the object to its original silver-bright luster. Please study the photo gallery carefully. There is the absence of blue stones on both sides and slight nicks as shown in the photos.
