GREEN CUT TO CLEAR AMERICAN BRILLIANT (ABP) CUT GLASS LADLE WITH STERLING METAL

Description

ITEM DESCRIPTION
TODAY I AM OFFERING A VERY RARE CUT GLASS AND STERLING LADLE, GREEN CUT TO CLEAR, IN DORFLINGER'S MONTROSE PATTERN WITH DORFLINGER STERLING SILVER METAL.  THE LADLE IS 16" IN LENGTH.  THE GLASS PORTION IS IN EXCELLENT OVERALL CONDITION.  THE GREEN COLOR IS A LIGHT GREEN RATHER THAN THE DARKER EMERALD GREEN MORE OFTEN SEEN BUT I DO NOT THINK THAT MATTERS IN TERMS OF RARITY.  I NOTE NO PATTERN DAMAGES AND I DO NOT SEE ANY DENTING ON THE SILVER.  I HAVE INCLUDED PHOTOS OF THE PATTERN AND I WILL LET THEM SHOW OFF THE PATTERN DESIGN.  THIS PIECE FLUORESCES THE "GREEN" COLOR GENERALLY CONSIDERED THE "GOLD STANDARD" FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF GLASS FROM THE BRILLIANT PERIOD OF AMERICAN CUT GLASS.
