Pair of Elegant Zinc Silver Plated Modern Posy or Single Stem Vases

Elegant and rather minimalistic, this pair of zinc silver-plated vases were made by “H.B.C” in England and probably date from the mid-Century.  They would look superb as part of a chic and modern table setting.

Each vase measures approximately 18.5 cm (7¼ in.) high with a base diameter of 6.5 cm (2½ in.) and an opening of slightly less than an inch (2.5cm). The vases have felt-covered bases which are stamped and are in good overall condition, with some superficial wear and tear and blemishes which are to be expected of an item with this age. One of the two vases has a minor “ding” on its rim which is not very noticeable except upon closer inspection.  Each vase comes apart into three sections – we even suspect that the base and lower section could be combined together to use as a candle holder, but we’re unsure if this is intended or not.
