Description
Antique End-of-Day Glass Hand-Blown Murrina Stick Vase
Multi-colored Victorian Whimsy glass bud vase. Near the end of the day, glass houses of old would collect the leftover chips and frits of glass from the day’s work, combine the various colors on the mauver and blow it into whimsies. A whimsy is a small fanciful thing that pleases. This little stick vase is indeed pleasing. Made with monochrome frit in shades of pink, blue, red, yellow and white and cased in colorless. The colorless outer casing was blown into a mold, a layer of multi-colored frit was placed inside and both layers were blown out together and cut at the neck.
Stands just over 6″ tall. In excellent condition. There are tiny trapped air bubbles within the glass, normal for early blown glass. Dates from the late 1800’s to the early 1900’s. Maker unknown.
