Hermann Ratzersdorfer - Vase - .800 silver - 800 Silver & Amber

An exceptional and rare late 19th-century Austrian silver-mounted and hand-cut amber crystal trumpet vase. Crafted in Vienna during the historic Arts & Crafts / Historicism era (circa 1890). The base is made of solid 800/1000 silver, hollow inside without weighting, and bears the official Austrian-Hungarian assay hallmarks alongside the famous master silversmith monogram "HR" for Hermann Ratzersdorfer (Vienna). Ratzersdorfer was one of the leading Viennese goldsmiths of the second half of the 19th century, internationally acclaimed for his museum-quality works combining precious mounts with crystal. The vase features a beautifully hand-blown and deeply faceted amber crystal body with a classic diamond overlay decor. Perfect cabinet piece for fine antique collectors.

The amber crystal has no chips, no cracks, and no scratches. The silver base is fully intact, hollow, not dented, and without flaws, featuring its original, rich dark unpolished patina. There is only a small, natural internal air bubble inside the glass from the original factory manufacturing process (completely normal for hand-blown glass of this era, not a flaw).
