Up for sale is a magnificent, highly detailedVictorian / Aesthetic Movement centerpiece trumpet vase, dating to the late 1800s.

Measuring an impressive 14 inches tall, this eye-catching decorative statement piece reflects the romantic opulence of the late Victorian era.Design & Artistry:

It is accented with three projecting, intricately cast pinecone/acorn finials.
• The Glass Trumpet:Sitting securely within the ornate collar is a wide, flared trumpet horn of high-clarity glass. The glass is intricately wheel-engraved with fine frosted details, showcasing delicate blooming flowers, flowing ferns, and classical geometric borders.
• Markings:The underside features an incised foundry or batch production number (21or27), affirming its authentic 19th-century manufacturing lineage.

Dimensions:

• Total Height:14\" tall
• Base Footprint:7 1/2\" x 5 3/4\"
• Top Flared Glass Diameter:6 3/4\"

Condition Report:
This piece is inexcellent antique conditiongiven its age. The glass is free of chips, cracks, or flea bites along the delicate rim and sits perfectly inside its holder. The gilt finish retains a brilliant, deep golden luster with natural aged patina and minor surface tarnish in the deep crevices, which adds beautifully to its historical character.Please view all high-resolution pictures to verify details.Rarity & Value Assessment

• Rarity Score:Moderately Rare to Rare
• Context:While single-horn trumpet vases (often classified under table epergnes) were popular luxury items among the Victorian upper-middle class, finding examples that preserve both the original heavy cast base and the original, unbroken etched glass insert is uncommon. Glass elements are highly susceptible to fracturing over a century of use and washing.
