Chinese Silver Vase Pair Marriage Union Inscribed Happiness Harmony Makers Stamp
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:40161 | Age: 1900-1940 |
| Type: Vase |
A very attractive pair of Chinese Silver Vases apparently commemorating a marriage union. Inscribed symbolic characters for happiness & harmony for a long lasting marriage. Unidentified makers stamp on underside of both vases. Date is unknown although I have indicted 1900 -1940 it is possibly older. Workmanship is quite detailed and very well executed. Note that I have polished one vase while leaving the second unpolished for reference. I am happy to polish the second for the buyer... if asked.
Please note that although the stands are removable they are an integral part of the vases. These stands appear to be paper mache, or a light composite, covered with silk and trimmed with silver foil.
Total net weight for both (without stands) 15.3 oz. 435 gm. (the first 213 gm., the second 222 gm.). Height without stand; 8 3/8" (21.2cm), with stand 9 1/4" (23.5cm). Top opening 3 1/4" (8.9cm). At widest point 4 1/4" (10.8cm).
Overall condition is very good with very minor dents commensurate with age.
Shipped with USPS Priority Mail. Buy pays for shipping. International & US buyers: I will double box ship for protection so the shipping cost will be a it higher.
