Pretty Victorian Fern Etched Celery Vase

A pretty piece of mid Victorian tea-table ware. This is a charming celery vase, with fern etched decoration and a gently flared lip. It has a pedestal foot with a polished pontil mark to the underside. The squat stem has a supporting collar and large ball knop. A delightful and usable item that would serve as well for flowers, as for it's original purpose.
