A Pair of Large Brass Vases Artillery Shell Casing WW1 75 DE C / French Trench Art, decorated with the words 'Somme' and 'Ypres'.

C.1911

Fantastic condition brass, some amount to splitting on the surface from when the brass was hammered into this specific design, making the brass shell stretch under the impact of hammering, part of the process, not considered breakage or distortion.

Good quality Brass.
