These antique silver vases are an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition. The decoration is all very sharp.
Full Irish hallmarks struck to the surface of each foot of these antique vases are all very clear; the hallmarks are struck deeply due to the exceptional gauge of silver.
Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of these exceptional Lindisfarne silver vases.
