Legras stick/tube vases with pinched thorns is blown of cased glass. Very organic style. Opaque white interior with translucent glass exterior. These examples shown are in amber and light blue. I'm sure there is other colours out there and is just a matter of time to find. The bottom of each stick/tube vase is cut and polished, except for the center vase which has a stamped flower prunt. The rim on each vase was cut and reheated.
The last picture is an illustration from a 1899 Legras Pantin & St. Denis Crystal Wholesale Catalog. Please look the illustration to view the documented Legras shape on the bottom row, last vase or 4th vase from the left.

WOW, Now this is amazing. I have been looking for a thorn vase for my collection but the ones Im finding are either too expensive for me or just banged up alot. I try to be very peticular in what I choose. The slightest chip can ruin a piece. Not to say I havent paid for some in the past just because I couldnt do without them and the price was right(practically free) :) But this one is one of my favorites out there. I love this. Nice one!!!!
