Silver and Tortoise Shell Lidded Pot and Candlestick
This pairing features a beautifully crafted silver lidded pot, adorned with a tortoise shell top, and a matching silver candlestick. The pot displays intricate cut glass detailing beneath the silver collar and lid, while the candlestick exhibits a classic, weighted base and elegant form. Hallmarks are visible on the silver collar of the pot, indicating its age and origin.
Condition and Collectibility
Both pieces show signs of age and use, with some surface wear and patina consistent with antique silver. The tortoise shell lid shows some minor imperfections, adding to its character. This pairing would appeal to collectors of antique silver, tortoise shell, or those seeking unique decorative items with a touch of Victorian elegance.
