FAQs

Posy vases gained immense popularity during the Victorian era as dining tables and drawing rooms became heavily decorated with fresh cut flowers, reflecting contemporary botanical interests.

These items are typically crafted from sterling silver using techniques such as repousse, chasing, and embossing, often featuring weighted bases for stability.

Authenticity is verified through British hallmarks stamped on the metal, which indicate the standard of silver, the assay office, the makers mark, and a date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture.

They can be placed on a mantelpiece or a side table to introduce metallic texture, either used functionally for single stems or displayed purely as decorative objects.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a specialized non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth to maintain the patina and protect delicate ornamentation.
