    Staying in the PINK!
    This one was not simply a nice find, but a meaningful one as well.
    After two years of cancellations, I was finally able to attend my favourite monthly antiques fair last weekend. All of us have known the sadness of not being able to take part in the activities & events we enjoy over the last two years. It meant so much to me, & everyone else, stallholders & customers alike, to have our beloved fair return this month. I was in a state of pure elation as I walked through the doors!
    And the positive atmosphere was palpable among the crowd - so many happy faces. For me, the fair being three days out from my birthday (which is today), it was like the party had begun early.
    This was one of a few things I purchased, an elegant Victorian vase of outstanding quality.
    It is made from two layers of cased glass - a "spreading" pink over a white interior. The form is simple yet unusual - the flattened sides add a point of difference. The vase measures 16 cm tall, 5 cm across the cut & polished top rim, & 5 cm across the base, which does not have a pontil mark. There is a touch of gilding on the top rim, & from the neck down, the front of the vase has fine raised enamel decoration of flowers. Overall, it is heavy & substantial for its size.
    I think it is most likely of Bohemian origin...& maybe...early Loetz?
