Family Heirloom.

My husband's Grandfather gave this Vase to his wife for an Anniversary Present in the mid 1880's. Passed on to his Mother & now to him.

@kerristephens @mbemis @hermann @pennystot @susiemc @gijsje @beryl @oldjosh @msmichelley @overalvandaan @ninaganci @ceilidh Thank you all heaps!!! I do look after it & wash it carefully, hard to believe it is so old. My mother-in-law lived to 100 years & her Mum before her to about 88. It was used quite a lot for flowers & not one chip!!
