    Description

    UP FOR AUCTION IS A VERY DETAILED EXAMPLE OF QUALITY FLORAL ENGRAVING FROM THE BRILLIANT PERIOD ERA ON THIS WELL SHAPED VASE.
    DIMENSIONS ARE 12"H X A FLARED TOP DIAMETER OF 8".  THE BLANK IS VERY CLEAR GLASS, WHICH IS LIGHTER AND THINNER THAN SOME BUT WITH GOOD QUALITY.  THE ENGRAVING IS OF EXCELLENT QUALITY AND VERY DETAILED.  ORIGIN OF THIS VASE COULD BE AMERICAN OR POSSIBLY EUROPEAN.  IN ONE OF THE SPILLMAN BOOKS IS A CHAPTER ON ENGRAVING BY JOHN ILLIG.  HE USED THE BULLET PLUS ENGRAVING TYPE WORK AS ON THIS EBAY LISTING, BUT I COULD NOT FIND THE EXACT SHAPE OR PATTERN.
    THERE ARE SEVERAL AREAS ON THE TOP RIM WITH SMALL CHIPS, WHICH COULD BE PROFESSIONAL POLISHED.  ALL THE TEETH AREAS ARE INTACT, WITH NO MISSING TEETH.  WHEN I AM LOOKING AT THE OLD ENGRAVED GLASS, MY FIRST REACTION WHEN SEEING THIS PIECE WOULD BE "SURE IS A PRETTY THING" AND CHECK IT OUT MORE CAREFULLY.
    MY STARTING PRICE IS LOW TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE IMPERFECT CONDITION.  THIS IS A VERY GOOD DISPLAY EXAMPLE OF FINE EARLY ENGRAVING.
    I AM AN ACGA MEMBER AND I ABIDE BY IT'S CODE OF ETHICS. IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH THE ITEM, YOU CAN RETURN IT FOR FULL REFUND. IF THE ITEM IS NOT AMERICAN ORIGIN, OR CUT LATER THAN THE BRILLIANT PERIOD, I WILL INCLUDE THIS INFORMATION IN THE DESCRIPTION.
    ALL GLASS SHIPMENTS ARE EITHER DOUBLE BOXED OR HEAVILY WRAPPED IN SMALL BUBBLEWRAP PLUS SURROUNDED WITH ADDITIONAL CUSHIONING MATERIAL, THEN SHIPPED INSURED PRIORITY MAIL, UPS  OR FEDEX.
