Condition: – The porcelain has no chips, cracks, hairlines, crazing, losses or restoration. The silver is in great order without any losses to the body. Obviously after 70/80 years of care there may be very minor surface scratches to the silver following years of love, care and attention.
Photography: - Please look at the images as they show a true status of this delightful vase. There are some light reflections seen following the photography and are not discolourations to the glaze. The blue ground is actually a corn flower blue which does not come across so easily in the images.
History & Marks:– The Porcelain is unmarked. The silver is stamped Spahr 1000 to the band on the lower aspect of the silver neck.
Declaration:– This porcelain vase is unmarked but is probably Thomas Ivory porcelain from the time period described. The silver overlay is that from the Schwåbisch Gmünd silver studios of Friedrich Spahr.
