[Wilde, Oscar. (1854–1900)] Douglas, Lord Alfred. (1870–1945) Green Posy Holder inscribed from Alfred Douglas to Oscar WildeA green glass posy holder with the etched inscription "To Oscar Love Bosie" and measuring approximately 1 x 7 cm. Small crack to rear lip of the glass, else fine. Resembling a small vase, the posy holder was romanticized as a fashion accessory and typically used to hold the flowers brought to ladies by their courting 'gentleman callers'. Acquired from a small regional UK auction house, there is no recorded provenance with this diminutive Wilde relic.
