This is a neat little antique 2 handled crested china or souvenir ware vase made in the 1890s by an unknown English manufacturer from Staffordshire, England.

The little vase features the coat of arms of the famous coastal town of Bournemouth with the latin inscription Pulchritudo et Salubritas which roughly translates as Beauty and health with flow blow hand painted enamel and gold trim.

The crested ware vase measures 2.75 inches high by 2.25 in diameter, and is in very good ++ used vintage condition.

A cute and very collectible piece of Victorian or Edwardian souvenir crested china.

Could be used to hold toothpicks as well as a charming small vase or perhaps a great size to use as an unusual Christmas tree ornament!
