Description :

Pair of vintage silver-plated urn-form vessels in two sizes. The larger piece features a classic pedestal base, flared rim and ornate applied side handles. The smaller urn has particularly attractive raised lion-mask decoration on the body with a beaded rim. The underside is clearly marked “Viners of Sheffield – Silver Plated.” Beautiful decorative pieces with substantial natural patina and an elegant English silver look.

Approx. Measurements
Large urn approx. 7–9 in. tall
Small urn approx. 3–4 in. tall

Condition
Good vintage condition with significant natural tarnish, oxidation, surface scratching and age-related wear. They have not been polished, retaining their attractive aged patina. No obvious major structural damage visible in the photographs.

Historical Note
Viners of Sheffield was a prominent English manufacturer of silver and silver-plated wares, particularly well known during the 20th century. Sheffield became internationally associated with metalworking and silver production, and vintage Viners pieces remain collectible for their traditional forms and decorative craftsmanship. These pieces are silver plate rather than sterling silver, based on the visible maker's mark.

Est. Value
60–100
