Elegant Set of 3 Silver Plated Arts and Crafts Trumpet Vases – Circa 1890

19th century
Description

Elegant Set of 3 Silver Plated Arts and Crafts Trumpet Vases by Hukin & Heath, attributed to Christopher Dresser, in an all over wood bark textured finish. Each rises from a swirling circular base (emulating tree roots) into a gently flared, petal edged top, rendered in a sensibility that channels the Arts &?Crafts ethos - honest, handmade inspired form, subtle ornamentation and a focus on material beauty – circa 1890.

Measurements:

Height of tallest vase: 8 1/2" (approx. 21.5cm)

Diameter of base of tallest vase: 4 1/4" (approx. 10.5cm)

Height of shorter vase: 5 1/2" (approx. 14cm)

Diameter of base of shorter vase: 3" (approx. 7.5cm)

Total weight: 538g

In good condition – The silver-plated finish retains a strong, reflective shine across all three pieces, with some light surface wear consistent with age and gentle use. The swirl bases are intact, stable, and level, with no warping.

Date of Manufacture

Kingsdown Antiques has dated these Silver Plated Trumpet Vases to the Victorian era.

This Victorian period set of three trumpet vases dates from circa 1890 in the Arts and Crafts style. The collection is made of silver plate over a base metal with a reflective silver colour and an all-over wood bark textured finish. Each piece rises from an openwork swirl base emulating tree roots into a fluted, petal edged top with trumpet form and stylized petals. The tall central vase reaches 21.5 cm high, accompanied by two shorter matching vessels. In a home today, these decorative vessels suit placement on a sideboard top or mantlepiece to hold single stems or small floral arrangements. The silver-plated finish retains a strong, reflective shine across all three items, accompanied by light surface wear consistent with age and gentle use. The swirl bases remain intact, stable, and level with no visible warping, whilst the fluted rims maintain their organic, undulating profiles.

FAQs

Late 19th-century Arts and Crafts metalwork emphasized organic, nature-inspired forms, hand-crafted aesthetic details, and stylized floral motifs as a reaction against mass industrialisation.

These items were typically crafted from a base metal alloy, such as electroplated nickel silver, shaped through casting and spinning before receiving a layer of pure silver plating.

Authentic examples feature period makers marks or silver plate stamps on the underside, alongside characteristic fluid line work, whipcrack curves, or stylized botanical motifs typical of the 1890s.

Arrange the set of three as a central grouping on a sideboard or mantelpiece, displaying single-stem flowers to highlight their elongated silhouettes.

Dust regularly with a soft cloth and clean occasionally using a non-abrasive silver polish specifically formulated for silver plate to prevent oxidisation without wearing down the outer layer.
