Description

Silver-plated vase

Context

Belonged to Rose Bastianelli. As it has the initials of her maiden name, it is presumed to have belonged to her before marriage, or perhaps as a wedding gift. Our research indicates that the maker of this piece was in operation as early as 1906 and as late as 1938 (or later) but perhaps in most extensive operation from 1924-1927. Rose married in 1927, so our best guess is that she acquired the item during the mid 1920s.
