Elk Skull Pewter Vase, via Ebay
A Monumental 14 inch tall Art Nouveau Pewter vase Designed by Hugo Leven for Kayzerzinn, and dating from around 1900. Of superb Organic form, the vase has three elk skulls embossed around the lower part of the stem, whose elongated stylised antlers stretch upwards to join the vase at the bowl. In good order, with a nice evn colour, the only signs of age being a couple of casting splits in the base (as per photo), these are visible only on close scrutiny.
