Leonard Silver-Plated Trumpet Vase/Pitcher

This item is identified as a Leonard Silver vase or pitcher, likely crafted from silver-plated metal, given its polished, reflective surface. The vase features a distinctive, elongated, and elegant trumpet-like form, flaring gently outwards towards the base. Its most striking design element is the slender, arching handle that extends from near the rim downwards, creating a graceful, open loop. The handle appears to be a single, solid piece of metal, seamlessly integrated into the body's design, suggesting good craftsmanship. The finish is highly reflective, showing clear reflections of the surrounding environment, including a ruler placed next to it for scale. There are visible signs of wear consistent with age and use, particularly around the base where some circular scuffing or dulling of the finish is apparent. A bright orange sticker or tape is adhered to the lower body, likely an auction or inventory tag, temporarily obscuring a small portion of the surface. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious major dents or structural damage, though minor surface scratches or tarnish might be present beyond what is discernible in the image resolution. Given the 'Leonard' context, this piece likely dates from the mid to late 20th century, consistent with the production periods of Leonard Silver Manufacturing Company, which was known for its silver-plated wares. The clean lines and minimalist aesthetic align with mid-century modern or transitional styles.
