Germany Hanau 800 Silver Repousse Pierce and 10 similar items

Fascinating find as this 800 silver vase liner represents Hanau craftsmanship to a tee. The history of Hanau silver dates back into the 17th Century and was a free trade haven for craftsmen and silver makers to work without fear of additional oversight or being forced to pay for certain stamp marks by assayers under authority for the Crown (England) or monarchies (Germany). Most creations especially with regard to silver were recreations from earlier styles but with marks that looked suspiciously like (but not exact) marks from the country the pattern came from. In the case of this vase liner, the marks are attributed to Vereingte Silberware Fabriken which was a joint venture between Gebrüder Glaser Wolf Knell. Specifically, according to the marks, post 1914-1924. The vase liner itself stands just over 4 inches in height, has a wonderful floral theme (it?s a vase for flowers after all) and scrolling along with piercing. Vase liner weighs 75.7 grams. Not unusual, but the glass liner itself was no longer around when we purchased this at a recent estate sale. Will ship USPS with tracking to winning buyer.
