DescriptionThis is a silver vase-shaped rectangular container with a floral design stamped into the silver on each side and the artist's signature on the bottom. The two wider sides have a repeated pattern of a central flower with two outer layers and 21 stamped petals. Directly above and below this central design is an identical curved intertwined design beside six ovals on either side that is situated vertically so that it comes away from the central design towards the opening. To the top left and top right is a repeated design of four circles with a central spot and seven ovals on either side, situated in the same manner. The bottom left and bottom right have a similar design of three circles with a central spot and five ovals on either side, the designs are going vertically down so that they come from the central design towards the bottom edge. The two shorter sides have the same central flower design, but with only one layer of petals. The other designs are also the same style, however the amount of circles and ovals are slightly less on the shorter sides than on the wider sides. The top and bottom of the container are ridged but the top is open. On the underside is the artist signature and the price of sale.
