  I haven't the slightest idea what I have got here?  All I know is that I love the way the colors set each other off with the "emerald shimmer" accenting the green color, especially toward the bottom of the green and white notched spiral that has a great continuity as it winds around the vase.  I have been told that it is a beaked vase, name attributed from the two "beaks" at the top of the vase.  Do the blowers sling this vase to get the effect?  I just love how the colors seem to pop out here and there!  Like the white "dots and drips" you see come out on the left side of the larger blue "tear drops" all the way around and then show up at the tip of each "beak" on top!  If you look close at the tips on top of the beaks, it almost looks like eyes staring at you when you look down through the vases neck!  I hope the photos do the colors justice, as they are very brilliant!  The emerald shimmer effects are very dazzling in the sunlight.

  If someone knows anything about this vase, please let me know?  I will continue to dig for more info, too. :wsh:

  Here are some photos, I hope you like what you see................................................
