An unusual and striking Victorian silver vesta with a top ring. This has an all over Ivy leaf decoration which is really unusual and striking. There is a central, unengraved, circular cartouche to the front, and fully decorated back and sides. A really beautiful example of a piece of collectable silver from the Victorian period.
