Large IOW Globe Vases
« on: July 26, 2013, 10:41:05 AM »
I have been lucky to purchase three of these big beasties.

As there don't seem to be many pictures of this size around the place I thought I would share some. :)  Largest is 20cm across, "smaller" are 19cm.

Nice, they are hard to find in that larger size, I have one in tortoiseshell and another in pink and blue swirls.

Two in Aurene is just plain greedy! ;D

Thanks. As you know Aurene varies so much that you can have two vases that are completely different.

Which is definitely the case with these two. :)

(would swop for a Seaward though (in case anyone has a double  ;D)

Never seen a seaward that size, just thinking about it is :o

Would happily swap my pink and blue swirls for an aurene though. ;D

I've only got a Tortoiseshell one this big. *pout*.

(But I do have two massive Aurene cylinders.  ;D )

Only have one cylinder and it's kerry glass.

Not seen I have seen huge ones anywhere they must be very nice. What kind of dimensions are they?

They certainly are lovely colours and it changes through the day on the windowsill behind me. I prefer the tortoiseshell in its stretched state you find in the larger pieces.
