This is an attractive small Edwardian Sterling Silver Spill Vase. The vase has a domed circular base and a tapered stem with elegant chased decoration of scrolls and flowers surrounding a blank cartouche just below the crimped rim.

The vase was made in Sheffield by renowned silversmiths Atkin Brothers and dates to 1901. Tracing its roots back to Thomas Law in the mid-18th century, the Atkin family took sole control of the business in 1840, first as Henry Atkin & Co and then from 1853 as Atkin Brothers. The firm manufactured both silverware and electroplate in Sheffield and also had a London showroom. They ceased trading in 1958.

Condition is very good, with no dings or dents and just a slight misshaping to the crimped rim plus the superficial surface wear that you would expect after over 120 years of use. Please make sure to view all the photographs.

The vase stands 9.7cm / 3.8ins high and is 4.4cm / 1.7ins in diameter across the base. It weighs in at a respectable 39.9g / 1.4oz of solid Sterling Silver.

The hallmarks, just below the crimped rim, are well struck and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the crown assay mark for Sheffield, the date letter II for 1901 and the H A makers' mark for Harry Atkin of Atkin Brothers.
