IT’S A WHIMSEY VASE!

Here is a Blue Opal Piasa Bird vase!! I love this pattern… it is so intricate and has a lot going on! This vase sits on 3 Ball & Claw feet which are delightful!

One thing you note here is the cool whimsey shape of this vase. The next thing you notice, and I didn’t capture them very well, are the opalescent rays that go up and down the vase! VERY VERY COOL and unusual!

This is a heavy piece of glass.

Older references go from English to US etc…back & forth.  Mike Carwile found this pattern in a book by Cyril Manley, “Decorative Victorian Glass,” just not in Opal.  So, definitely English. I think most attribute it to Sowerby.

Buy cool and pretty pieces! This one qualifies as BOTH!

Circa early 1900’s.
