A refined weighted sterling silver trumpet-form bud vase or single candle holder, exhibiting a timeless minimalist silhouette with a flared trumpet rim rising from a circular stepped foot. Crafted in weighted sterling silver, the piece embodies the restrained elegance characteristic of mid-century American silver design, making it equally suited for displaying a single stem or serving as an understated candlestick. The underside bears the impressed mark "STERLING" over "WEIGHTED," confirming its sterling silver construction with weighted base, a common technique employed to provide stability while preserving the graceful proportions of the form. Its clean architectural profile allows it to complement both traditional and contemporary interiors, making it an attractive decorative accent, dining table accessory, or addition to a collection of American sterling silver hollowware. Pieces of this versatile form continue to be appreciated for their functional simplicity and enduring aesthetic appeal. An elegant example of classic sterling silver tableware suitable for collectors and decorators alike.

  • Literature: Comparable examples may be found in catalogs of American sterling silver hollowware produced by firms such as International Silver Company, Towle Silversmiths, Gorham Manufacturing Company, and Reed & Barton during the mid-20th century.
  • Circa: Mid-20th Century, circa 1950–1975.
  • Condition: Very good vintage condition. Displays light surface scratches, scattered minor wear, and areas of tarnish consistent with age and handling. The weighted base is stable, and the form remains free of significant dents or distortions observed. Monogram/engraving present on the underside.
