Bottle vase - .925 silver

An elegant Edwardian cut-glass bottle, circa 1903, bearing the maker’s mark of Andrew Barrett & Sons. Distinguished by its slender cylindrical form and richly decorated silver cap, this example offers considerably more visual interest than a conventional plain-topped dressing-table bottle. The silverwork features raised flowers and scrolling foliage, extending across the sides and culminating in a prominent bloom on the top, while the closely cut diamond facets of the glass catch and reflect the light beautifully. A distinctive example of Edwardian personal luxury, combining decorative silverwork with an unusually graceful silhouette.
