Blue Victorian Glass Vases
Gin-For's Odditiques: Glass For Sale
(Cats and batteries not included.)
The Island of Misfit Antiques would currently be too full for Santa and Rudolf to haul them all to good homes, and that's rather sad. This pair of glass vases from the Victorian era are an utterly lovely shade of blue, a light, bright turquoise. At one time, these would have been attributed to a British company, but it's just as likely that they are Bohemian. Either way, the specific company is unknown, and the date is likely the second half of the 19th century.
At one time, these were hand painted, probably with a floral design, but almost none of that remains....leaving the still beautiful glass. These are hand blown with unfinished pontils, and the bases make me think of a child playing with a Tinker Toy set.
Condition: excellent with no damage and no repairs to the glass. As noted in the description, the painting is essentially gone. Of course, all our sales are fully guaranteed.
Height of the vase is about 9 1/4" with a maximum diameter of about 3 1/4".
Price: $30 for the pair 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.
