Pair of French Trench Art Vases / shell casings from the World War I vases.
Trench art objects are holders of soldiers' memories and reminders of the conflict they faced. Made out of recycled war refuse such as shell casings, spent bullets or whatever came to hand, they open a window to the past. They tell us things like where soldiers went and what their surroundings were like.
Trench Art is usually associated with the First World War
