(Sheffield) 8 inches","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis is an attractive pewter vase by Walker \u0026amp; Company of Sheffield. It has twin handles which (to me) resemble long plant tendrils. They sweep down from the tubular neck onto the base section of the vase. I feel that the company probably copied these handles from ones designed by Knox.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe surface is planished and covered all over with little decorative hammered marks.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIt is marked to the base: English Pewter \/ Walker \u0026amp; Co \/ Homeland \/ 7051. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe metal has not been highly polished but has a nice shine to it - it is a darker grey tone rather than a bright silver. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMy vase is in excellent antique condition with no damages, scratches or dents. It is perhaps more simple in design than pewter wares made by Archibald Knox or WMF. This is reflected in my asking price.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWalker \u0026amp; Co was launched in 1909 in as an electro-plate cutlery manufacturer.  The owner was Sheffield-born Herbert Walker (1877-1951).
