This is very interesting for me as an abstract flower - meets tadpole. Although the glass suffers from 2 straw flaws at front and side, I had to have it.
It is in a ribbed clear glass with golden iridescence.
It is 16.5cm high.

ohhhhhhhhhhhh...Love it!! I see the Lion Passant on the mark and the London mart ( post 1820 ) ....as least that is what it looks to me
http://Www.silvercollection.it is my main resource for hallmarks. I get you that the "m" doesn't show up too well but it does with a loupe. The makers mark is rubbed but likely to be JH Worrall Son & Co Ltd.
A Lion Passant for sterling silver. A leopard head for London (1895-1909). Where is the date letter? The mark next to the Lion Passant looks like three smoke stacks.
JH Worrall Son & Co Ltd. were based in Birmingham, so not possible for the marks to be theirs. The mark for Birmingham is an anchor.
Those hallmarks look hinky to me....
I have a number of JH Worrall Son & Co London hallmarked vases. I don't think they are the sorts of vases or maker that anyone in their right mind would try to fake. I could try one of the London guild libraries for their records - maybe in retirement!
Hinky is an interesting word. Not sure I've heard that one before!
The mark referenced on your link shows a hallmark for Birmingham for JH Worrall and that was what I was going by. There still must be a date letter mark and there isn't one shown in the photo here.
The very last mark on this page shows the maker mark for JH Worrall, Son & Co.

LOL! Hinky = suspect/unreliable
I must remember that for Scrabble!! I must say, I hadn't looked into it, but suspect that some of the regional silversmiths had London branches. I didn't think more of it. I agree, that my favoured website has them as a Birmingham maker, but I think that's mistaken. I do intend to go to London at some point and look up Henry Perkins & Sons, David Loebl, Worrall.
So if I am wrong in my assumption, I will post it here first! ;-)
I will be curious to see what you find out, especially since there does not seem to be a date letter mark.
I can not recall but somewhere in the back of my mind ( and that is going....LOL ) I thought their was a mark that came into effect in a certain time -- as that is why you see some things with 4 hallmarks -- and some with 5. I know I read something about that but it was a long time ago. Was it the date mark so a Tax could be applied or something???
Sorry, I can not recall but it was something i had found out when I was researching the 1750 sterling Silver Fork/knife set in our family ( Posted here on CW ).
I had also contacted Victoria & albert in London both by mail, and by Phone when I was researching those of ours ( even with the time difference ) -- so it was a long time ago -- but it was something like a Tax and the mark was for that....??
??? ?? Then again maybe I am out of it today in the Heat !!
There is a date letter mark "m" for 1907. :-D
@Rose - there are Victorian and prior marks which can include the monarch's head.
beautiful piece!
JH Worrall is listed under the London Index also

Rose, you are right, the other mark was for tax/duty and a monarch head as Ian said.
Where's the "m" ? You don't mean those three smokestacks, do you? Help an old lady out, lol!
