I'm sure that some of you could appreciate how nervous I was waiting for this one to arrive safely!
The seller did a great job of packing it securely, so thankfully I can share it with you. It was found on eBay AU. I really didn't think I'd win this one, as there were several other bidders in the mix, but I hit hard right at the end & luckily I nabbed it for a reasonable sum.
This is most likely a later Victorian era piece, perhaps even crossing over into Art Nouveau.
The central vase measures around 25 cm tall, & has two hanging baskets. It is made from cased glass, light yellow (no uranium content) with a fine white spatter & crackle decor.
There is a clear applied footed base in a five pointed star shape.
Although this type of item was produced in England, I think this one might be of Bohemian origin...maybe Kralik?
AMAZING-- love this one!
Interesting take on an epergne-- something I haven't seen before.
And Happy New Year to you!

Fantastic piece. Yes those arms would have had me worried during shipping :)
This is amazing, those arms and handles, fabulous!!!…it would have kept me up at night the moment I was told it ‘was shipped’..
This is a very special piece, Marin! To have all three pieces, and in this beautiful decor, too! I am so glad it was well packed and got to you in one piece; it is a wonderful addition to your collection.

Very pretty. such details and have a lace type of look to it. Glad you could share, and kuddos to the seller for packing it with care.
Many thanks, Scott, & wishing you a Happy New Year, too!
Much appreciated, Bernard. Yes, it was a nervous wait for sure. Glad it ended well!
Thanks so much, Penny!
Thanks also, Mary!
Lily of the valley sounds like a perfect match for this vase, & perhaps violets, too. Both very popular flowers in the era this piece was made.
Much appreciated, Michelle!
Many years ago I found my first example of this type of vase, in Peloton glass, but missing its two baskets. Still living in hope of finding replacements...as the song goes "don't stop believing..."
So, anytime I do manage to find one of these vases fully intact, I make it mine if I can manage it!
Many thanks, Karen! :-)
Thanks also, Glenn12345, glad you're enjoying it!
Thanks so much, Lori!
a treasure
