EDWARDIAN CRYSTAL AND STERLING SILVER AMPHORA VASE, LONDON, 1902

This distinguished Edwardian amphora vase, hallmarked for London in 1902, represents a sophisticated collaboration between the silversmiths Cohen & Charles and master glass cutters of the early 20th century. Adopting the classical Greek amphora silhouette, the vessel features a heavy crystal body meticulously hand-cut with deep diamond-quilted and fan-cut patterns that terminate in a star-cut pedestal base. The sterling silver mounting consists of a flared, polished collar flanked by two high-arched, angular strap handles, a design choice that bridges the gap between late Victorian classicism and the emerging Art Deco movement.
