Description from the seller

This elegant antique silver vase, neoclassical in inspiration and coming from an inheritance, presents itself as a refined cup of fine Italian craftsmanship. Its intrinsic elegance immediately captures attention, making it a surely fascinating object for enthusiasts of vintage silverware. The handle, always floral-themed, is S-shaped.

Small/medium in size, it adapts with versatility to different settings, lending a touch of distinction, beauty, and prestige. The object is richly decorated with floral engravings that adorn the main body. A distinctive element is the three stones of a warm blue-green color, applied on the sides and resting on elaborately hand-engraved bases with further engravings and floral bas-reliefs. I am not an expert and all information comes from a jeweller.

The quality of workmanship and the fineness of the details attest to a high-level production. Although no external hallmark has been identified, I was unable to verify the maker, and the other mark clearly reads "Argento 800", suggesting a dating to the early 20th century. This rare and splendid cup is capable of imparting a unique atmosphere of elegance to the room in which it is placed.

The general condition is good, considering the object's age, with possible minimal signs of wear, removable with professional cleaning, as shown in the photo. Shipping will be entrusted to a well-known courier with tracking service and insurance for the full value. The packaging will be carried out with the utmost professional care.
