Historical and Collector Context

Figural silver objects have long been appreciated for combining decorative appeal with practical use. This small duck-shaped vase is particularly attractive as a character piece, with its expressive enamel eyes and sculptural form giving it a playful presence. The 800 fineness mark indicates that the piece is made from an alloy containing 80% silver. As no additional maker’s mark or assay mark has been identified, the precise country of origin remains uncertain.

Its unusual form makes it a lovely cabinet display piece, a thoughtful gift for a collector of animal-themed objects or an appealing addition to a curated collection of vintage silver miniatures.
