I had some time today to practice with my camera. I took some pics and, during the editing process, decided that this photo was very Christmas'y in color! It is a custard cup, made by Phoenix Glass. I am guessing around the 1920-30 era. It is three distinct layers of glass. At the top rim, the glass varies between 2-3mm thick for all three layers combined! The opal layer on the inside is not part of the vaseline layer and is a non-black-light reactive layer, not a result of striking the vaseline layer to a opal color in the glory hole. So, there is Red, Green, and just a hint of holiday frost! The handle is attached vaseline glass. The reflection was accomplished by shooting this piece on top of a 12X12 inch piece of highly polished black marble. The marble was purchased at a flooring store.
I Hope your Christmas is relaxing and safe (even if it is hustle and bustle, try to be safe, esp. if you are on the highways!)
