An ornate Continental .800 silver vase with matching under plate, featuring repoussé and applied decoration including inset cabochon blue stones and figural handles terminating in carved ivory ball finials. The vase is marked .800, indicating Continental European origin, likely German or Italian late 19th to early 20th century.
