This was a super buy it now on eBay AU, a classic example of Victorian art glass.
The vase is made from clear glass with broad pink & white bands in the Cleveland Stripe design. It measures 14 cm tall, 14 x 13 cm across the square, crimped rim, & 7 cm across the base, which has a rough pontil mark.
I think the unusual square top makes this extra special.
Most likely English origin, possibly by Thomas Webb & Sons, circa 1880s.
Fabulous candy stripe vase, I love it! Great score Marin
Many thanks, Jenni!
and of course it's Pink! :)
Very nice ! Looks like candy. Certainly "eye candy. Cleveland is about a 30 minute drive from where I live in Ohio. First time I've heard of this pattern. Wonder if there is some connection possibly to women's fashion during that time period. :)
See what your knowledge does?
I would have seen this om eBay and thought little of it.
Well done.
Naturally, Bernard! :-)
Thanks also, mikelv85!
I'm not sure how the name came about...I learned of it from researching glass fairy lamps, where this was a popular pattern. There is an old catalogue page documenting it.
Many thanks, Karen!
What my knowledge also does is lead me into buying more stuff & spending too much money, LOL! ;-)
