AUTHENTIC VICTORIAN SILVERPLATE ROSE BUD OR TULLIP VASE WITH LOVELY FITTED GLASS INSERT ca. 1880 - 1890 This is an authentic victorian silverplate tullip or rose vase that came out of my Aunt's collection. The Vase was made by the Forbes silver co. in the late 1800's. The silverplate looks tarnished with that aged old soft patina, so we did not try and polish it as many collectors prefer it. The design on the body of the vase is a lovely floral pattern. The vase stands at about 4 inches in height and about 3 inches in diameter. The bottom is clearly hallmarked with the Forbes logo with the rooster head in the center. Thank you for bidding. We hope this goes to a nice home. NO RESERVE As noted in my other auctions, I am not a dealer or in the antique business. I am selling some collections that came out of my Aunt's home on Nantucket Island, Mass. She collected antiques and traveled the world from 1905-1948 as a nurse. She was an artist and lover of poetry and it is our hope that these items my family is selling, will go to homes that appreciate antiquities as did my Aunt. It is impossible for me to be an expert on the items I am selling so I do my very best to describe the items in detail and I take several pictures. I realize the condition of an item can vary depending on the person who is looking at it, so I am depending on you to ask specific questions if I have not given you enough details or should you like to correct something that I may have stated incorrectly. I welcome any help or knowledge you can share with me. Please read the entire description and look at the pictures carefully prior to bidding. It also helps it you can e-mail me with any questions 24 hrs prior to the close of the auction. My aim is to give all of you an honest and accurate description of the items my family is listing Shipping and Payment Information Successful bidder will pay shipping and handling fees.
