All I can say is when I saw this, it made my day! :-)
A large Victorian vase, made from three layers of cased glass - clear over pale, shaded green, with a white interior. It measures 31 cm tall, 14 cm across the double crimped top rim, & 10 cm across the base, which has a polished out pontil mark. The vase features applied decoration of branches & leaves in amber & green glass, two applied flowers in pink & white, as well as a pair of red cherries. There is an applied crest in pale amber on the crimped top rim.
My first example of this type of glass that has both flowers & fruit, also my only piece on a green ground...all the others are on white or pink, generally.
Could be either English or Bohemian.
beautifully created the shade of green is tremendous & the applied glass work stunning oh those cherry's are just gorgeous thanks for sharing your wonderful gem !!!!!!!! IronLace
So similar to that one I posted a few months ago. But yours looks a better shape.
It has made my day too, IronLace :) The green sets it off to perfection!

Many thanks, Scott, & I have admired your collection many times!
Oh yes, love the green. It makes the applied fruit pop!
Thanks so much, racer4four, totally agree!
Ooh I like this. Very different from the usual cherry vases and baskets.
Thought you might like it, Vintagefran! :-)
And I might be able to acquire another one...
The second one is coming soon! :-)
