Germany around 1880

An ivory model, whose only decoration is on a high-relief worked guard which represents a flowers pot (primulas,  tulips and orange blossoms) in a neo-gothic style; the whole is surmounted by a rich cartouche intended for containing eventual monograms. Many similar models are known, but not the same, coming from the Germanic area.
