Amber Glass Vase with Rolled Rim
Gin-For's Odditiques: Glass For Sale
(Cats and batteries not included.)
This vase remains something of a mystery. It's likely mold blown to get the ribbed swirl and has an unfinished pontil. The rim is folded, which is a very nice touch, and there is an extensive wear pattern on the bottom. The glass contains a few unintentional bubbles. It could be quite old or could be from the 1950s. As I understand it, there was a contest in Italy back in the 50s (or was it 60s?) for making items out of bottle glass. This could be such an item. Under blacklight, there is a slight orange glow, and if memory serves, that shows manganese in the formula. Unfortunately, that doesn't confirm much.
Condition: excellent with no damage and no repairs. Of course, all our sales are fully guaranteed.
Height of the vase is about 5 3/4" with a maximum diameter of about 6".
Price: $35 plus shipping/insurance based on location (The USPS has changed it's rates, but I'll offer choices as best I can. Just get in touch.)

Buying, Paying, and Such Things
You may notice that we don't have a checkout where you can just click for your goodies without so much as saying hello. Well, we want people to say hello, ask questions, even hope for a better deal. Long ago, I told stories for 7 hours (free refills on coffee), so "impersonal" just isn't my style. Click on one of those "E-mail" buttons. I can't handle as much coffee as I used to, so the stories will be fewer.
These days, Paypal is about the easiest payment method around, but we still take checks, even cash. No Monopoly money, nothing printed up in your basement, no chickens, etc., but otherwise we're fairly flexible. If we can put it in the bank without anyone getting in a tizzy, we'll probably take it.
Please take time to stroll through the site. Sorry we can't offer you a cup of coffee or tea while you're looking, but maybe you can take care of that yourself. Just don't spill it on the keyboard. And if you run into any questions along the way, there should be an e-mail link on every page, so just click and ask.
Hope you'll enjoy our "sing the body eclectic" approach (with apologies to Walt Whitman). As always, proceeds go to support our creditors, my spouse, our cats, my auction addiction, and the plumbing project that never ends.
