Help with Makers mark Birmingham 1901, please

This tiny little vase has the hallmarks for Birmingham ~ 1901 Maker: W.J.H This vase is only 3 1/4" or 8.2cm tall and the base is weighted, possibly with lead. Would it have been for violets? Thanks momma http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e369/jym60/momma/SV400441.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com...
