Vintage Metal Dried Flower Vase

An elegant vintage metal urn vase, in a style typical of Arts & Crafts / early 20th-century metalwork. Featuring a tall, fluted body with vertical panelled sides and a wide outward-flaring rim, the vase sits on a stepped hexagonal plinth base, accented with a slim rope-twist decoration where the vase meets the stand. Constructed from metal—possibly brass or bronze—the vase has a mottled dark brown surface with subtle oxidation. Faint hammering along the vertical seams suggests it was hand-finished rather than factory pressed, while the base is likely cast. This mixed construction is characteristic of the Arts & Crafts movement or small European foundries.

The vase has a small leak along the rope-twist edge, making it ideal for dried flowers or as a decorative object rather than for holding water.

Size: 24 cm (h) × 12 cm (base diameter) × 12 cm (opening diameter).

Material: Metal, appears to be brass or bronze.

Origin: Europe.

Period/Age: Early 1900s (c. 1900–1930).

Condition: Please note this vase is not suitable for use with water. A small hole exists where the base meets the stand, beneath the rope-twist decoration. While not visible, a small amount of water may escape if filled. Ideal for dried flowers or as a decorative object.

Please be advised that all items in our Vintage Collection are second-hand pieces, which means that they may have had significant previous use. Marks, stains, bumps, dents and wear that are cosmetic are part of the nature of vintage pieces and are therefore not recognised as defects. Only items where the function of the piece is impacted will be considered damaged. All cosmetic marks and signs of wear are part of the natural character of vintage pieces. If you are not comfortable with used or worn pieces, our standard collection may be more appealing.
