Charles Robert Ashbee for the Guild of Handicraft, an Arts and Crafts silver beaker vase, London 1896, the planished conical body on a splayed foot, reticulated and repousse embossed with a band of seeding poppy or tulip flowers on coiled foliate fronds, 19cm high, 10.29ozt Note: a photograph of this or a near identical vase appears in the Guild of Handicraft design book, titled Early Work, currently in possession of the Guild at Chipping Campden. Although John Pearson left the guild in 1892, the foot is reminiscent of his style of repousse work, perhaps by one of his pupils, to the Ashbee design. This is a relatively early example of Ashbee's work while still in London and bears his personal CRA hallmark
