Vintage Middletown Silver-Plated Urn | Double Handle
A beautiful example of traditional American silverplate, this vintage Middletown Plate Co. urn features an elegant silhouette inspired by classical European vessels. Two sweeping scroll handles frame its softly rounded body, while a flared rim and pedestal base give the piece its distinctive proportions.
Fine beaded detailing along the rim and foot adds a subtle ornamental finish. The deeply aged silverplate has developed a rich, mottled patina, creating a striking contrast against the graceful curves of the handles.
Perfectly sized for a bookshelf, mantel, or console, this petite urn is equally beautiful displayed on its own or with a few dried stems.
