    When I first joined CW, Warren posted his purple empire vase. My comment at the time was, "I WANT ONE"! I finally found one and couldn't be happier! When it arrived, I was surprised as I found it much bigger than expected. It's only 3 1/2" tall, but the width - 8" - gives it a much larger appearance. As you can see, it's highly reflective and was very difficult to photograph, but at least you get the idea. Thank you guys for looking and your continued support!

      Thank you for the great comments and love Flea and Gary, and thanks for the love Melanie, you guys know it's appreciated!

      @ Flea... Yes it has an unusual shape which I love! It matches a Charles Lotton piece I have with a similar "UFO" shape. :)

      @Gary... Yes, at times I marvel at the talent it takes to make these beautiful pieces of art glass .

      Wow! This is a gorgeous piece, and your pics are a total success!!!
    13. Efesgirl Efesgirl, 7 years ago
      One of my favorite colors! I must admit that I am not a fan of Loetz glass - except for this piece. So unusual!
    14. sklo42 sklo42, 7 years ago
      A lovely décor, and shown to perfection by ace photography!
    15. racer4four racer4four, 7 years ago
      OMG!! YAY RICK!!!

      I remember salivating over Warren's too. Rick I'm so happy you have such an exquisite treasure for yourself now.

      Mis más sinceras felicitaciones Rick , it is wonderful
    18. Rick55 Rick55, 7 years ago
      Thank you for your enthiastic comments and love Penny, Mike, Allan, Kyra, Bonnie, Peggy, Karen, Scott and Sylvia. Also thanks for the love Pops, Kevin, Ho2, Oz, EzA, Vintagelakes, Jim, Aura and Beyemvey! It makes it so gratifying to share something that you guys enjoy as much as I!
    19. cnd11, 7 years ago
      Takes up a decent amount of cabinet space...and it rightfully deserves it! :)
      Wonderful example!
      How do you get the two tone background? Is it the way you set your lighting or the "background paper" you use?
    20. Rick55 Rick55, 7 years ago
      Thank you for the nice comment Cnd, and thank you for the love L.B. and Deb, I'm so glad you guys like it!

      @Cnd... In this case I used a gradient background. When I want more contrast between the light and dark, I place a piece of cardboard on the overhead light preventing it from shining on the background.
    21. Rick55 Rick55, 7 years ago
      Thank you for the love Austro, I appreciate it!
    22. Mac63 Mac63, 7 years ago
      Great piece and great decor - I think one of my favs as well. I found mine when I was first collecting an didn't know what it was except that it was going home with me.
    23. OneGoodFind OneGoodFind, 7 years ago
      Great color and I love the texture. Or is that a trick of the light? Well done either way.! :)
    24. Rick55 Rick55, 7 years ago
      Thanks so much for the kind comment and love Tonja and Matt, and thanks for the love Fort, GlueChip, Ivonne and Radegunder, I do appreciate it!

      @Mac... that's funny, the same happened to me. I bought my first Medici not knowing what it was, but I fell in love with it and had to have it. Lol.

      @Tonja... Nope that's the texture of it. I don't think anybody could put pleats on a vase... at least not me. LOL.
    25. bohemianglassandmore bohemianglassandmore, 7 years ago

      Worth the wait, I would say
    26. SEAN68 SEAN68, 7 years ago

    27. Rick55 Rick55, 7 years ago

      Thanks for the comments and love Warren and Sean, and thanks for the love Bobbee, it's all appreciated!

      @Warren... It was definitely worth the wait. I've seen others, but I wanted one as close to your purple one as possible :-)
    28. Michelleb007 Michelleb007, 7 years ago
