{"product_id":"wwi-trench-art-vase-large-13-5-canon-de-campagne-copy","title":"French WWI Trench Art Vase Pair — 75mm Arsenal 1912, Fine Engraved Floral, Dedicated F \u0026 L, 8.5\"","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThese two began as weapons before the war even started. The base stamp — \u003cstrong\u003e75 DEC \/ EF \/ ARS \/ 192 \/ 12B\u003c\/strong\u003e — dates the brass to \u003cstrong\u003e1912\u003c\/strong\u003e, pre-war Arsenal production. Someone loaded them into a \u003cem\u003esoixante-quinze\u003c\/em\u003e sometime between 1914 and 1918. Someone else picked up the empty casings and spent hours with a fine needle, scratching something tender into the gold brass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eSwag garlands. Daisy sprays. Gothic chevrons at the rim. A bow. And on each body, a single engraved letter — \u003cstrong\u003eF\u003c\/strong\u003e on one, \u003cstrong\u003eL\u003c\/strong\u003e on the other. A matched pair made as a gift, almost certainly. Two names. Two people waiting somewhere far from the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe engraving is fine-line chasing — dotted fills, delicate curves, the kind of work you'd expect from a jeweler, not a soldier. It wraps consistently around each vase. Both sit on a stepped brass foot ring, with a gently flared rim. At 8.5\" they're intimate in scale — mantle pieces, not floor pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe F vase is in excellent condition, except for a small indentation on the rim. The L vase has permanent corrosive damage to the body — the brass is etched and pitted in that area. Both are disclosed and priced accordingly as a pair.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aimee's French Market","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45982147510470,"sku":"Vint-WWI-Pair","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/9971\/3478\/files\/IMG_2420.jpg?v=1782425446","url":"https:\/\/www.aimeesfrenchmarket.com\/products\/wwi-trench-art-vase-large-13-5-canon-de-campagne-copy","provider":"Aimee's French Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
