A truly splendid Vesta case, made from sterling silver with gold hinge and gold opening lip, makes this a most unusual Vesta Case.A lovely larger than normal size depth, and with the most glorious deep engraving, this Vesta is stunning; the crafmanship of the silversmith is most apparent. The empty cartouch in the centre is an unusual shape. Hinged on one side the Vesta opens and closes perfectly and reveals the hallmarks on the inside lip for the Chester Assay office with date mark for 1907 and Lion Passant indicating the finest sterling silver, the maker''s mark is for the silversmith Payton Pepper & Sons Ltd.The hinge to one side and the lip are a lovely rose gold.  This is a superior Vesta Case. It is superbly made and aesthetically pleasing on the eye. It is a good heavy gauge silver and feels lovely when held in the hand.  In great antique collector''s condition.  Hallmarks and maker''s marks: Chester 1907 by Payton Pepper & Sons Ltd.  ...
