A stunning Art Nouveau silver-plated flask, 1930s. Such a lovely flask that features an oval shape, screw on cap, and a "raised" floral pattern that's simply breath-taking.
Condition: Good vintage condition with signs of age. Here's a full summary:
1) There's tarnish
2) There's general age that comes purely from time
3) There's a ding (more of an indentation) on the bottom of the flask; a small ding on the upper side of the flask; and a small ding on the top cap (all are superficial but can be seen)
4) There's some wear/age to the silver-plating in a few places
5) The smooth sections on the front and back of the flask are purposefully concave slightly - these are not dents but the way the flask was designed when it was hand-forged
6) There's what we refer to as general surface wear that can include micro fine scrapes, scratches, etc (from past handling, how it was stored, etc).
In short, this piece is in good vintage condition but does show signs of age. It display beautifully and has a magical feel to it.
