    This one's a bit of a mystery. Recently purchased from an elderly lady who remembers this being in her mother's home since she was a young child. It is approx. 9 inches (23cm) high and 5 inches (13cm) wide.

    I love the deep, rich red colour, especially when it's displayed near a sunny window. It's in perfect condition and I'm amazed this delicate item has survived so many years without damage!

    I am unsure whether this is English or Venetian art glass?

      Any information about the origins or proper name for the style of this vase would be much appreciated :)

      My feeling is Victorian English Lynn but it's not my area of knowledge. I hope others see and comment on your ruby vase!

      Thank you racer4four and lizzycbw. It's hard to believe how this lovely item has survived all those years without any damage or obvious wear marks!
