This elegant 14-inch sterling silver vase is a refined example of early-20th-century American decorative silver by La Pierre Manufacturing Company, a firm celebrated for producing tasteful, high-quality hollowware with restrained neoclassical flair.
The vase features a tall, trumpet-shaped silhouette rising gracefully from a substantial weighted base, giving it both visual presence and excellent stability. The surface is beautifully articulated with vertical fluting, creating shimmering light play as the polished silver catches the eye from every angle.
Encircling the upper body and echoed lower down is a delicate engraved garland of laurel leaves and blossoms, a classical motif symbolizing honor and elegance. Centered prominently is a finely engraved script monogram cartouche, framed to perfection—an element that adds both personal charm and collector appeal, especially for clients seeking heirloom-quality presentation pieces.
The underside bears La Pierre’s hallmark along with:
“STERLING”
“501” pattern/model number
“WEIGHTED BASE”, indicating a reinforced foot designed to keep the tall form steady when filled with flowers.
La Pierre was known for marrying graceful aesthetics with practical engineering, and this vase is a textbook example—balanced, luminous, and impeccably finished.
Likely dating to the Edwardian or early Art Deco era, this piece reflects a transitional moment in American silver: classical ornament softened by streamlined proportions.
Perfect for:
A formal dining table centerpiece
Mantel or console display
Wedding or anniversary presentation
Upscale floral arrangements
Collectors of fine American sterling
In short: tall, tailored, and timeless—the kind of vase that quietly announces good taste without raising its voice. Silver doesn’t need to shout when it looks this composed.
