Antique Life-Size Strawberry Vesta Box in Silver

An exceptional antique vesta case. Masterfully modelled as a perfectly scaled, lifelike strawberry. Created in silver and executed in remarkable detail, the surface captures the natural form and texture of the fruit with extraordinary realism. A testament to the skill and creativity of the maker.

Substantial in the hand, the piece weighs over 55 grams, giving it a satisfying weight and presence. Novelty vesta cases such as this were highly prized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, combining practical purpose with playful design and exquisite craftsmanship.

A rare and delightful collector’s piece. Whimsical yet finely made and a wonderful example of antique silver at its most imaginative.
