Description

This rare, large example stands on a domed, flared foot with a snapped off pontil mark on the underside from where it was blown.

The body of the vase is bulbous in shape with a narrow neck which flares into a ruffled and crimped rim.

This most attractive glass vase has been blown in two layers of glass with the inner colour of white with an outer silvery blue overlay, which has a diamond shape pattern which runs throughout the vase. The pattern is produced with the introduction of shaped air pockets, some of which have elongated particularly in the neck as it was formed.

The vase is multitoned, caused during manufacture by the stretching thickness of the blue overlay, which alters the colour of the translucent blue.

The outer surface has a satin finish, which is where the name of this type of glass originates.

Please let us know if you need any further information and photographs. Thanks, Wendy

The vase is in perfect original condition.
