The case is a lovely rectangular shape with the pretty scroll engraving to the back and to the silver across one half on the front, the other half having a beautifully leaf engraved 9ct rose gold overlay.
Hinged on one side the Vesta opens and closes perfectly and reveals the hallmarks on the inside lip for the Birmingham Assay office with date mark for 1904 and Lion Passant indicating the finest sterling silver, along with the maker''s mark for the silversmith: Smith & Bartlam.
