Quick Details:
Silverplate bud vase, ≈7.25″ tall, 3” diameter top, 2” diameter base
Flared trumpet form with pierced quatrefoil collar
Likely Reed & Barton (early 1900s–1920s) — marked “*RN‹” + “H.A.M.C.”
Surface wear + plating loss consistent with age
Structurally sound; no dents or wobble
Ideal for single stems or dried flowers
Description:
This antique silverplate bud vase has all the drama of the Edwardian era packed into one slender little trumpet. The pierced top is both decorative and functional — it works like a built-in flower frog, keeping a single bloom standing tall without any fuss.
The hallmark on the bottom points toward Reed & Barton from the early 1900s, back when even simple bud vases got a little extra flair. The “H.A.M.C.” stamp was most likely a retailer or distributor, so this piece has lived a few lives already.
Yes, the silverplate shows some age, especially around the pierced collar, but honestly? It wears it well. Think “vintage patina that tells a story,” not “I have suffered.”
Perfect for one dramatic rose, a dried seed pod, or just as a quirky decorative piece with tons of character.
