Topic: Beautiful, heavy, cased art glass vase with internal floral decor

[peejyweejy]

This vase is very heavy and approximately 6" in height. It is decorated internally, which seems to be between the two layers of glass...if you know what I mean! Any information on this would be great!

Just found these on the following link. I take it they are not antique then?

Definitely not antique, these are no older than 80s. They're quite nice quality and in my opinion are a good thing to collect if you can find them for the right price.

The clear glass tends to be a poor colour - very yellowy. They frequently come with orange flowers inside though sometimes you can find fairly attractive pieces with big purple flowers and bigger green leafy bits. (if you like flowery stuff)

ps. the ones in the link provided are not at the right price.  :thud:

Thanks guys....and dolls. This piece is my brother's and he likes it. I thought the one's in the link were incorrectly atrributed.

It's much nicer in green glass than in yellow - I'm glad it's owner is happy with it - that's all that matters isn't it?  :rah:
