The other-half's parents just emailed me photographs of a silver-mounted cranberry-coloured vase with pushed-in sides, dated (I'm told) for 1903.
I've not handled it myself, but the glass quality looks quite ho-hum. Seems to be cased in clear, and I can't quite make out the base's finish. I'll get better confirmation on those ASAP.
Really not my field, so any ideas as to its origins?
Thanks in advance.
