Late Victorian English Silver Plated Diminutive Watering Can Circa 1895

About the Item

Unusual accent decorating piece; a silver plated or silver alloy (unmarked) late Victorian British diminutive watering can, circa 1895, that would have been used to water interior plants and window boxes during the late 19th century. With a hinged top lid, the vessel is highly decorated in multiple floral hand engraved motifs (repousse). The predominantly floral and geometric decor is to all sides; the engraving is highly elaborate with some type of decor to almost every part of the surface. There is quite an extensive bit of hand silversmithing to this piece, not seen in similar examples (see all photos). Even the top surface, both handles, and the spout have some type of ornamental hand engraving. It is in it's all original surface and condition with no restoration and the spout and handle are completely intact---very sturdy; not highly polished and maintaining it's true Victorian patina.
