Up for your consideration is a beautiful Tiffany Aesthetic Japanese. Bud vase with a wonderfully detailed pair of Butterflies on the shoulder. This vase is 7 inches tall and is about 2 inches wide from butterfly wing tip to wing tip. The base is 2 inches wide as well. This piece weighs a hefty 117 grams. It is in wonderful. Condition with crisp detail present on the butterfly wings and also on the asian inspired die rolled frieze that surrounds the body of the vase. There is one slight bump to the upper body of piece above the frieze, it is about 1/8 of an inch in diameter. Honestly I had to look 2-3 times to even notice it. I have tried to show it in the photos, but doubt that it is decernable. As with Antique items of this age a certain amount of wear due to normal usage should be expected. I do my best to describe any and all defects and blemishes that may be present. All in all a beautiful piece of early Japanese influenced Tiffany silver. Please study the photo’s carefully as they make up a large part of the description! I will always respond to the best of my ability and in a timely manner.
