Went to a local auction tonight and finally was able to tick this kind of glass off of my bucket list. This is the first time I've seen the gold aventurine outside of a museum. I am sure there is more out there but I haven't run across it.
this example is about 8 or 9 inches tall.

this auction was really weird. there was A LOT of harrach. they must have loved harrach and not known it (because not a single thing was attributed to harrach) but it all appeared to be from the same estate. It's not often I see so much harrach locally in live auctions
Congratulations! You chose well!
LOL thanks! I try to choose well.
