Found this nice 5 1/2 " tall vase at GW this morning. It was sitting on top of the display case just as you walk in the door. At first glance it looks smooth and round, but it's actually made up of hexagons. The glass is a mix of white, yellow, and pink. There are even single flecks of dark blue and green. Two of the sides are yellow and white and the opposing sides are pink and white. The colors extend up to the top ruffle. There are two clear seams down the sides so I believe this is a molded piece. There are a couple of nicks in the ruffle and the base has either a large flake chip or it's a manufacturing defect . Not even really all that noticeable unless you look close or run your finger over it. -Mike-
Beautiful!!
Thanks Sean and nutsabotas6 :) for the loves and comments !
Wow !......Thanks Leah !
I wonder if it's similar to inky's 1899 Legas Soleil vase she posted a couple of years ago. It's a different shape but the same colors ! Ran across it in the image galleries online.

Very cool, thanks so much !
Hello, this vase is a Legras like your pink one, it was made by the factory of Saint-Denis at the end of the XIX or early XX century. The original name of this vase is "facettes ball".

Thanks again Veloceraptor :) It's great knowing the proper decor names for these pieces ! -Mike-
