Description
This is a lovely pair of Edwardian glass vases with Silver collars. They could also have had a lid of some sort at one stage or could have had an insert for holding flowers which was very popular at this time. Either of these suggestions would have accounted for the need for a silver collar protecting the glass lip. The vases have been mould blown by hand, which would account for the similar size (mould) but differing weights. The four \'feet\' were probably formed from protrusions from the mould and manipulated joining the legs in the centre making this novel shape, the base has then been ground flat. There is nothing on the glass to identify the maker but it was probably made close to the silversmiths (although at the time lots of glass moved around the country by means of canal barges).
The silver collar, although warn some of the hallmarking can still be identified. There are apparently the same marks on both collars. There is a group of three marks which if read from the right I suggest: 1/ is the Leopards Head; 2/ is the Loin Passant, 3/ is the date letter. If I am correct this should show that the silver has been assayed as sterling silver in London during 1908. The larger mark on the left of these is the makers mark but unfortunately I can\'t identify this at the moment.
The pair of vases are generally in very good condition, although the silver collar shows ware and there is a hint of \'fogging\' inside the bowls (one is clear).
Size and WeightThe vases weigh about 285 and 308 grams, and are approximately 11.5 cm in height and 9 cm in diameter.
