{"product_id":"antique-sterling-silver-vesta","title":"Antique Sterling Silver Vesta Case","description":"\u003cp\u003eA wonderfully characterful antique sterling silver vesta case, engraved with the wonderfully irreverent inscription, \"In Mem. The Blighter.\" Who the unfortunate \"blighter\" was is anyone's guess, but the sentiment has clearly outlived them. Whether it was a playful farewell, a good-natured tease or an inside joke between friends, it's the sort of engraving that instantly sparks curiosity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinely engraved with a crisp ivy leaf design, the vesta case still retains a few matches - later additions rather than from the original period of the piece, but a charming reminder of its original purpose. A piece with genuine character, it's sure to appeal to collectors who appreciate antiques with a story - and a sense of humour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pf0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cf01\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;\"\u003eStamps: makers mark (illegible) Birmingham 1916, lion passant for sterling silver\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pf0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cf01\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;\"\u003eWeight: 16.57g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pf0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cf01\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;\"\u003eHeight: 40.68mm not incl. bail\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pf0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cf01\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;\"\u003eWidth: 29.01mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pf0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cf01\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;\"\u003eCondition:  commensurate with age and wear, some discolouration and rust to inside of case, hinge working as intended\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pf0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cf01\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;\"\u003ePlease note that all our items are pre-loved and pictures form part of the description.
