    Yesterday I attended the now bi - monthly antiques fair. After a good walk around, I started examining things in more detail, & that's when I discovered this very unusual & special vase.
    It measures 15 cm tall, 6 cm across the four way crimped top rim, & 5 cm across the base, which has a rough snapped pontil mark.
    The vase is made from two layers of cased glass, the interior being a deep brick red, & the outer layer green with aventurine.
    At the time, I didn't know what it was other than Bohemian & from the Art Nouveau era...& that it was an absolute must have. It simply oozed style & class. The form is languidly organic, with three indented sides & a cupped top.
    The colour combination is rich & complex, & changes dramatically in different types of light.
    After a little research, I found that it is an example of Rindskopf Aventurine.
    Circa 1900.

      Lovelly and it really brightens up in the sun. That's one of the things about glass they can almost look like a different piece depending on how it is lite,
