Description from the seller

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

I am pleased to present at auction a refined and splendid cup (or vase) of exquisite Italian artisanal manufacture, coming from an important private inheritance. The object, rich in personality and intrinsic elegance, stands out for its entirely handmade high-level workmanship. Although it shows no visible hallmarks on the outside (a typical feature of some unique or commission pieces), the structure bears an internal label that clearly attests its purity: Silver 800. Its exceptional consistency is confirmed by a net weight of about 390 grams.

Two-sided Decoration and Hand Crafting. The peculiarity of this vase lies in the richness of details, which show superior execution quality both in the upper part and the base: The Main Body: Features a rich and dense decoration with engravings and embossing in floral motifs that extend magnificently on both sides, making the object perfect to be displayed at the center of a table or console.
Caps 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 elaborate hand-engraved bases with floral bas-reliefs, on both sides. The vase’s foot is supported by a sumptuous pierced and counter-embossed base with neoclassical volute motifs. The silver shows a beautiful warm natural patina of time, with brownish hues that enhance the contrasts and depth of the bas-reliefs, testifying to the authenticity and age of the piece (mid-20th century).

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

The overall condition is good, especially considering the object's age. It shows minimal and normal signs of time that enhance its charm; for those who desire, professional cleaning with silver-specific products will restore the object to its original silvery brilliance. Please view the photographic gallery carefully. There is a lack of blue stones on both sides and light touches as shown in the photos.

We guarantee elite shipping to safeguard the lot’s integrity: The object will be protected with the utmost care and packed with appropriate cushioning materials. Shipping entrusted to a well-known international express courier with constant tracking (tracking). Insurance Included: The lot will travel with full insured coverage for the entire winning value, for a transparent and serene transaction.
