<I>Auto vase, cone</I>

ca. 1913-1914

Sterling silver cone shaped auto vase. The vase is unadorned with a polished surface and is capped with a silver ball. There is a slight lip around the rim of the vase and inside there are two curved holders for a ribbon, which would allow it to be hung inside a car. There is a mesh screen over the opening of the vase that would have secured the flowers within during a jostling outing on the bumpy roads of the early twentieth century.
