A really beautiful Pair Of Art Nouveau Silver Vases with original green glass liners. The green glass really sets these silver vases alive and is quite unusual instead of the more traditional blue or cranberry. The vases have fretwork relief to the middle section and solid silver base and top. The bases are unfilled but sturdy and well made. These are typical of the Art Nouveau period and are a lovely example of Art Nouveau silver.
Assay Office: Sheffield
Maker: Levesley Brothers
Date: 1909
Silver weight (they are unfilled): 140g
Condition -
These are overall in very good condition. There is one minor dent / scratch to the base of one vase (see close up picture) otherwise there is no further damage. The glass is original and damage free although there is one tiny bubble to the rim of one glass. The hallmarks are good and clear although one vase has been struck twice. Otherwise there are very minor surface marks commensurate with age, polishing and light use.
