The gently swelling body rises from a compact foot to a subtly flared rim, while twin loop handles lend symmetry to the silhouette. Concentric banding encircles the lower register, adding a linear counterpoint to the softly faceted texture of the pewter.

The hammered finish catches light with a muted sheen, emphasizing the craftsmanship of the cool, silvery tone of the metal, and is signed “R Delavan.” It functions equally well as a vessel for florals or as an accent.

Condition: This vase is in great vintage condition and is signed "R.Delevan." See less
