Snuff Vase or Pill Box Vase. Circa 1916. Nickel-plated vase, elegantly spun from brass, used to exchange or vanish a small object. Height 6 ??. Base diameter 3 ??. Tall finial. Wear to plating, else near fine. Uncommon in this design. Donald Holmes offered a similar vase (most likely imported) in his Catalog No. 3, as item number 202. A lengthy discussion of the prop and a routine for its use was published in Willmann?s Moderne Salon Magie (1891), at page 317.
