    This is a cute little piece of Victorian art glass that I got from a newly opened shop in my high street.
    I'd been admiring it over the last week but because I was also watching an item of interest on eBay, I held back on buying.
    Well, I won the eBay item but sadly it arrived broken yesterday. My first broken item since 2016, so I guess it was a pretty good run of luck that had to end sometime. Anyway, the seller refunded me right away & so I went & got this vase instead - no waiting, no postage. As I like to say, enjoy the silver lining.
    It is made from cased glass with a ribbon striped air trap/Atlas type decor, pale powder blue (paler IRL) over a white interior. The vase measures 7.5 cm tall, 5 cm across the top rim, & 3 cm across the base.
    There are two clear applied handles with a fine ribbed pattern, & hand painted enamel decoration of stylised flowers, as well as traces of gilding.
    Has a tiny snapped off pontil mark on the base.
    Perfect condition for its age.
    Could be Bohemian or English origin circa 1880s.
    The ribbon decor in satin glass is well known on John Walsh Walsh production (rose bowls & fairy lamp domes in particular) but the shape of this vase looks a touch more Bohemian to me.
