    Okay, so I often say that I'm trying not to get any more "big" glass...but, sometimes you just have to break your own rules when something this good comes along.
    I was watching these on eBay AU, & they ended without selling, then got relisted at a lower price, so I thought, why not?
    I have a feeling they are Early Loetz, & the quality is outstanding in every aspect. Condition is also perfect.
    The vases are made from three layers of cased glass - a "spreading" orange/pink/salmon over a clear middle layer, with a milky opalescent interior. They measure 27 cm tall, 7.5 cm across the top rim, & 10.5 cm across the applied footed base.
    There is an applied rustic branch in clear glass which cleverly complements the raised enamel decoration of branches with oak leaves. The vases have a fine ribbed pattern, & are cylindrical in form, tapering towards the base, where they are joined to a clear rustic cupped form which attaches to the base. Base has a slightly irregular pleated effect, with traces of gilding visible around the edge.
    I was aware of the height of the vases, but in person they have quite a girth around, making them an imposing pair. After a quick reshuffle, I managed to find an appropriate spot for them - flanking an equally large cased satin glass basket.

      Love how that spiral comes out of the base, adds another dimension to it.

      Thanks so much, Michelle! Yes, I'm simply thrilled with these & so glad I took a chance. They are much more impressive in person than the photos I saw on eBay, which is always a bonus!
