If this little cutie doesn't brighten your day, then nothing will!
Another super find on eBay AU, this Victorian vase by Welz is made from around 4 layers of cased glass. It is an intense & distinctive shade of bright yellow, & has a rounded, four sided form with a pattern of ribbing & daisy heads.
It measures 10.4 cm tall, 4.5 cm across the top rim, & 7.5 cm across the clear applied footed base.
This vase glows an amazing shade of orange under UV light due to the cadmium content.
Diminutive size, yet packs a real visual punch!
BEAUTY !!!
Many thanks, Kevin!
What a great shape! They embossed 'daisy' design works so well on this one! :)
It’s a shape that works best when small I think.
Yummy custard colour and I love the cadmium glow.
Thanks so much, Michelle - I completely agree - the folks at Welz certainly were clever at putting together innovative & eye - catching designs. I absolutely love the shape, it's utterly charming. Luckily this was a buy it now, & I jumped at the chance!
Thanks also, Karen! Yes, small can be very beautiful, especially for Welz vases. They are often real little cuties. And I am always ready to welcome small glass items into my collection, as I can fit them in easily. I love big imposing pieces too, but they tend to give me a buyer's hangover once I get them - what do I have to move, or get rid of, in order to accommodate them..?
