Royal Selangor Floriate Bud Vase
The floriate cross, a design rarely seen on saucer brooches, is made prominent in pewter relief. So-called for their flared rim, and worn in pairs at the shoulder to hold dresses up, saucer brooches were the most common form of brooch worn by Anglo-Saxon women. The Museum gilt bronze brooch which features the motif is early Anglo-Saxon, from 5th century Britain.
132 years of Craftsmanship Since 1885, our designers and craftsmen have expressed their love and understanding of the material by continuously pushing the envelope in pewter design while staying true to our heritage of craftsmanship. Each Royal Selangor item is hand cast by pouring molten pewter into steel moulds quickly and efficiently. After cooling, each individual pewter piece is polished and soldered onto other appendages such as spouts and handles, all done by hand. This attention to detail and precision has made Royal Selangor's pewter pieces durable and timeless.
