Gorgeous Gorham Sterling and Hoare Vase SOLD

This vase was likely cut by J. Hoare – it uses a variety of motifs they were  known for and the hobstar base, in addition to these screams J. Hoare to me. The top is mounted with beautiful Gorham sterling.

Thick, deep tusks swirl around this piece and are interspersed with tight, diamond cutting. They frame large, clear tusk bulges which are cut in the glass, not blown (unusual for this style). The base of the vase. undulates with the design and is covered in a 24″ point hobstar.

The glass is in great condition with just some minor scratches on the base. The silver is also in good condition but does show a slight sign of a crease that was properly corrected – it’s not distorted anywhere. The vase measures 11 1/2″ tall and 6″ across the top.
