C1870 RARE ANTIQUE VICTORIAN FERN ETCHED CRANBERRY RUBY GLASS HYACINTH BULB VASE
Item History & Price
FRESH TO THE MARKET FROM A PRIVATE SOURCE AND OBVIOUSLY FAR NICER IN REAL LIFE THAN MY POOR
IMAGES WOULD SUGGEST IS THIS RARE ANTIQUE CRANBERRY OR RUBY GLASS HYACINTH BULB VASE.
DATING FROM THE THIRD QUARTER OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY CIRCA 1870 IT IS FERN ETCHED ON BOTH
SIDES SO IT DISPLAYS EQUALLY WELL EITHER WAY ROUND.
IT BEARS ALL THE HALLMARKS OF HAND BLOWN GLASS FROM THE VICTORIAN ERA WITH STRIATIONS AND
AIR BUBBLES AND AS EXPECTED THERE IS A GROUND OUT PONTIL MARK ...UNDERNEATH.
IT IS APPROX. 5.25 INCHES HIGH AND OVERALL IT IS IN VERY GOOD USED ANTIQUE CONDITION.
ALL OF THE EDGES FEEL SMOOTH TO THE TOUCH WITH NO SIGN OF ANY NASTY REGRINDS AND AS A GOOD
SIGN OF ITS TRUE AGE THERE IS A LOT OF SCRATCHING AROUND THE PONTIL MARK.
I HAVE TRIED TO HIGHLIGHT IN MY LAST GREATLY MAGNIFIED IMAGE AN EASILY MISSED FLAW WITHIN THE
RING NEAR TO THE TOP OF THE NECK.
IT IS COMPLETELY SMOOTH TO THE TOUCH AND I HAVE NO DOUBT IT IS FROM MANUFACTURE NOT DAMAGE.
PLEASE NOTE THAT SOME OF THE STRANGE MARKS VISIBLE IN MY IMAGES ARE REFLECTIONS, SHADOW OR
CAMERA FLASH AND AS SUCH THEY DO NOT ACTUALLY EXIST.
ALL SHIPPING COSTS INCLUDE THE POST OFFICE FEE FOR LOSS INSURANCE AND A TRACKING NUMBER.
IN SUMMARY A VERY RARE EXAMPLE WHICH WOULD ENHANCE ANY GOOD GLASS COLLECTION.
