$1,295.00
Celebrate a piece of New Orleans history with this stunning 12-inch tall vintage sterling silver presentation vase by Redlich & Co., a renowned American silversmith active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Elegantly crafted and bearing the iconic Redlich lion hallmark, this vase features a classic trumpet form with a cement-filled weighted base for added stability.
