- Lot Description
Indian, likely Calcutta/ Bovanipore, early 20th century. Important silver presentation vase of trumpet form having a ruffled rim over the tapering body finely chased repousse with leaping animals in landscape with thatched roof houses in the background. Engraved presentation near base on the dome shape foot "DR. IDA SCUDDER/ FROM/MRS. D.K. DEVA PRIAM. Vase tests positive for silver content. Apparently no markers marks or silver marks. Approximate height 6", diameter of foot 2.25". Note: Dr. Ida Sophia Scudder (American, 1870-1960), was a third-generation American medical missionary who dedicated her life to the plight of the women of India and the fight against bubonic plague, cholera and leprosy. She graduated from Cornell Medical College, New York City in 1899, as part of the first class at that school that accepted women as medical students. For two years she treated woman patients in her father’s bungalow in Vellore, South India; then in 1902 she moved into Schell Hospital, built with money she herself raised in America. She performed her first operation with no helper but the butler’s wife. By 1906 the number of patients she treated annually had risen to 40,000. Scudder began training nurses, an almost unheard-of procedure in Asia. Her nursing school grew to become the first graduate school of nursing in India. in 1918, she founded a college to train women doctors. Beginning with seventeen girls, all taught by herself, it grew into a great complex of buildings graduating thousands of skilled, dedicated doctors. In 1923, she built a larger hospital in the center of Vellore. In 1941, the college and hospital was upgraded and then open to men as well as women. In 2003 the Vellore Christian Medical Center was the largest Christian hospital in the world, with 2000 beds, and its medical school is now one of the premier medical colleges in India.Condition report statements are provided as a courtesy to interested clients by request - these reports state our professional opinion and should not be treated as a statement of fact.

For additional photos, please email Photos@AandOauctions.com. Please note, Ahlers & Ogletree Auction Gallery sells items at a rate of approximately 80 to 100 lots per hour in a live auction setting. Since the auction moves quickly, online bidding platforms are,at times, unable to keep up with the pace. To avoid potential disappointment when bidding on an online platform, consider placing a realistic absentee bid in advance of the sale. Priority, in regards to bidding, goes to in-house floor bidders. Occasionally, the auctioneer may reject a live online bid and/or reopen a lot after the close of online bidding (typically due to a missed in-house floor bid). Due to this possibility, at times the online bidding platform will show an online bidder as the winning bid when they are not. All final winning bidders will be notified via invoicing from Ahlers & Ogletree typically by the Monday immediately following the sale. To bid with Ahlers & Ogletree as a phone or absentee bidder, please feel free to email us at bid@AandOAuctions.com. Lastly, please make sure to read over our firm's Terms and Conditions of Sale before bidding.
