PINK ALERT!
This Victorian vase is a "replacement" for a similar one I sold several years ago & regretted. In fact, this one is better in terms of condition, so it's more of an upgrade than a replacement.
The vase is made from three layers of cased glass - clear over shaded pink with silver mica inclusions, over a white interior. It measures 16.6 cm tall, 3 cm across the top rim, & 5.7 cm across the base.
Could be English or Bohemian origin.
I doubt the photos don't do this vase justice. Enlarging the photos does give some idea though. Very fine (both senses of the word) sparkle.
Sorry, read without 'don't'.
I love the gradation on this one, especially with the mica. Beautiful!
Many thanks, Peggy! The sparkle is just sublime on this, very pleased to have it in my collection...
Thanks also, Michelle! Yes, I'm thrilled with it, as the one I had & sold years ago had an imperfection on the top rim, while this is pristine!
