Description:
This
French Opaline glass vase is of fine quality and unusual
size and
shape, not what you find most often in Opaline. It was
probably part of
a mantel set originally. Coloring is soft yet rich, and
the glass is
filled with tiny, irregular seed bubbles. Date of
origin is no
later than the late 19th century but could be
significantly earlier.
(And it's priced assuming circa 1890.) The pontil is small
and
unfinished. Coloring makes it hard to see, but there's an
extensive
wear ring on the bottom...from actual age. The glass
is fairly
thin and light, elegant. While Opaline
is not hard to find, especially later items, this is an
uncommon, older piece, not a recent import.Dimensions: Height is about 12 1/2".

To buy an item (or more), just e-mail us, or you can call us at 812-467-0191. It works best if you include the "item" code to let us know which item or items you're interested in. The code is at the beginning of each listing and is usually two letters followed by a number.
We'll confirm that the item is still available, make
sure we agree on the total, and answer any 
questions you wish
to throw our way. Checks or money orders should
be made "Forrest OR Virginia Poston". We also take Paypal
(including credit card payments).
We try to ship in one or two days after payment arrives, and we're generous with the bubblewrap and styrofoam peanuts.
If there's something you'd like us to find for you, let us know. We're just itching to please you, or maybe that was poison ivy we got into.
Remember that all proceeds go to support good causes: my spouse, our cats (see the "staff" here), our creditors, my auction addiction, and the plumbing project that never ends.
(Cats and batteries not included.)
Not just the usual suspects.
