I JUST RECEIVED SUCH A SPECIAL XMAS GIFT FROM A VERY YOUNG FRIEND THAT I MUST SHARE IT: A BOX WITH FOUR PIECES OF GLASS! ONE OF THEM IS DOUBLY DEAR TO ME, FOR IT COMPLETES MY "NOAH'S ARC"--THAT IS, TWO OF A KIND.
1. THE NEW VASE. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THE GROUND IS RUBY RED, TOTALLY COVERED IN GREEN, AND 10.5" TALL, AND A 1" WIDE SPIRAL BAND IN RIBBED CLEAR.
2. THE MATCH I ALREADY HAD: 13" TALL, RED GROUND, GREEN AVENTURINE FESTOONED IN RED.
3. a PAIR OF VASES IN AMETHYST GLASS WITH GREEN AVENTURINE DROPLETS. 14" AND 12" TALL RESPECTIVELY.
4. AND HERE IS THE STRANGEST, FOR I WAS READY TO SWEAR IT WAS RINDSKOPF BY THE DECOR, BUT THE SHAPE IS DEFINITELY KRALIK. AND THERE IS AN INKWELL TO PROVE IT.
THANKS, CHARLIE, LEAH AND JOSH!
