collared plain
Glass Oil-Vinegar
vials would sit snugly, they each still retain there hand blown glass stoppers with a ball finials, to the top of the silver stem you will see it also has a solid silver ball finial matching the glass stoppers on the Vials beautifully , this is finished
with a circular domed base, each of the hand blown vials would have contained either an Oil or a Vinegar, the quality of the craftsmanship is superb, as you would expect being crafted by such fine Victorian silversmiths, this is fully hallmarked, its absolutely breath taking and so extremely rare, this would have once belonged to a very wealthy Victorian household and sat proudly on their dinner table
ready to be used
when hosting many a fine dinner party, this would have looked amazing sparking in the candlelight, this was in a time many years ago when things were so very different, if this could talk i can just imagine what fascinating stories it could tell, this is so very tactile and once held it has the most wonderful feel. it is of a large size and very heavy. This will add something very special to any collection, my photos dont do it justice. Please study the photos as this is an extremely rare,
you will not find another like this on the market. the collar on the vails have the normal imperfectiosn being hand blown, only 1 vial has a chip to the banding in the middle with old glue on, the stoppers are wonderful and all original, you will not see anything like this on the market. The stand is NOT weighted at all
