Creta Rusticana, PII-740, c. 1899
blown glass
5 ½” high x 3 ¾” diameter
Markings: polished pontil
Condition: Very Good
For Accuracy: an antique vase it may show expected light signs of age and use related wear. There is an small inclusion on the side that is negligible and doesn’t affect the presentation or integrity of the item in the least, these are common and to be expected. The form is particularly attractive and reminiscent of ancient glassware with dimpled sides, an extended neck and a disc mouth; and iridescence has a strong electric blue that accentuates the form adding shadowy undertones and sparkling overtones.
