Victorian Silver Vesta Case, Joseph Gloster, 1900

This is an attractive late Victorian Sterling Silver Vesta Case. The vesta is oblong with a hinged lid. It is engraved front and back with scrolling acanthus leaves and there is a blank shield shaped cartouche on the front.
The vesta case was made in Birmingham by noted silversmith Joseph Gloster and dates to 1900, the last full year of Queen Victoria's long reign. Joseph Gloster registered his first mark at the Birmingham assay office in 1888 and set up business at the Lion Silver Works. The firm produced a very wide range of silverware and were quickly successful, becoming Joseph Gloster Ltd in 1901. They remained in business up until around 1980.
Condition is good, with just some shallow bruising to one side panel plus the superficial surface wear that you would anticipate after over 125 years of use. The hinge is in full working order and the lid snaps shut securely. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The vesta case is 4.8cm / 1.9ins high by 3.5cm / 1.4ins wide and 1cm / 0.39ins deep. It weighs in at a respectable 28.5g / 1oz of solid Sterling Siver.
The hallmarks, on the inside rim, are well struck and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the anchor assay mark for Birmingham, the date letter a for 1900 and the J.G makers' mark for Joseph Gloster.
Shipping in the UK is £6 by Royal Mail Tracked 24.
Overseas customers, please ask us about shipping costs to your country before making a purchase.
