George W. Shiebler Lava Shaped Mixed Metal Salt & Peppers are very ultra rare and unique - added to our museum on 5-31-25.    The spot hammering and oxidation is exquisite.  The shape is highly unusual and similar to a Tiffany Favrile Art Glass Lava Vase.   There are also extremely rare mixed metal embellishments of a bat, snake, and flying bug.  There is also a sterling applied seahorse, fish and beetle.   The scene is of a Japonesque nautical nature and features cattails and sea grass.  This is absolutely one of the most exquisite pieces that we have added to our collection in quite a long time.   They weigh 3.60 troy ounces and measure 3.25" tall.         Approximate Retail Value is $1,350 - $2,500
