A Cold War brass 30mm shell casing produced by Radway Green in 1979 that could be repurposed as a striking decorative piece. The casing has a solid weight and a natural aged patina, giving it a bold industrial look. It works beautifully as an unusual vase for dried flowers and stems, adding rustic character to a shelf or tabletop.
The base carries original military factory markings, including RG, 30MM A1, 175 and CYL 11/79, confirming its late-1970s Cold War origins. The primer has been removed and the casing is fully inert. Surface marks, wear and age patination add to its reclaimed style.
A distinctive piece for those who enjoy industrial, military or reclaimed décor. Looks great displayed on its own or styled with dried botanical elements.
