Large ORREFORS Engraved SAILING SHIP Crystal Art Glass Vase Mid-Century ModernWe are pleased to offer from our personal collection this large MCM Orrefors crystal art glass vase featuring an engraved Ship Sailing on waters. The vase is heavy and has thick walls with its two sides (left and right) polished flat and smooth, while the front and back are slightly bowed. The thick rim is polished and angles inwards towards the center. The base is polished flat and i...s inscribed "Orrefors. P. 2588 / 171(?) D9. BE.(?)". We are not absolutely certain that we have read the inscribed letters and numbers correctly, so please satisfy yourself by using the magnifier when looking at the photographs. There is a very fine faint scratch on the front side near the rim (see last photograph). Two very small fleabites were noted on the underside near the backside edge of the vase as well as the usual shelf scratches (see the photographs). The vase was very reflective and difficult to photograph, so please take the time to carefully examine each for more details. Contact seller with any questions or if you require additional photographs for inspection. Measurements: The crystal vase stands approximately 4 3/4 inches in height. It is approximately 9 inches wide at the top, but tapers down to 6 1/2 inches wide at the bottom. The vase is approximately 4 3/4 inches deep at the top and tapers down to 2 3/4 inches at the bottom. The vase weighs approximately 8 lbs. 7 oz. Measurements are approximate, but close. Condition: We carefully examined this item. As mentioned in the description, there are two very small flea bites found on the bottom edge nearest the backside. There are numerous scratches on the bottom, some very faint, but some more obvious from shelf wear (see photographs of the bottom). There is also a faint scratch across the front side of the vase near the top rim as shown in the last photograph. None too distracting, but mentioned for accuracy. Other than this, NO Chips, Cracks, Stains, Repairs or Restorations were noted. Please take the time to carefully review all the photographs for more details. Contact the seller with any questions or if you require additional photographs.Questions??? We do our best to photograph, describe and mention any issues with each of the items we sell.
