WW1 French Brass Trench Art Vases – Military Relics from the Somme

This pair of WW1 French brass vases were traditionally hand-crafted by soldiers or artisans during or shortly after the Great War. Each vase has been shaped and decorated, making every detail a testament to the resourcefulness and creativity born from wartime conditions.

Sourced from a traditional market in the Somme region of France, these are authentic WW1 relics, sold in the original condition they were found in. Their rich patina and timeworn surface tell a genuine story of age and history.

They can be polished to restore the original brass shine, or left as-is to preserve their aged character and historical integrity. Solid and weighty, these pieces make a remarkable addition to any militaria or trench art collection.
