Contender for ugliest vase of 2013
« on: December 08, 2013, 06:14:07 PM »
This has to be the winner for 2013. I just thought I'd share all 9.25 delightful  :-X inches of it. The outer casing is uranium, as are the leaves. Unfortunately, uranium over cream over fuschia pink has resulted in an ugly beige and the amber trim is a murky olivey brown. It's also very damaged. It was an auction cast-off from glassobsessed, in case anyone thinks I was mad enough to pay money for it. The pictures really make it look nicer than it is.

Thoughts as to where and who would be welcomed.

Having met the beast in the flesh, it does actually need another, to be a pair.

Then, there is a use for it.  ;D
Stuck, one on each side of somebody's head, it would go really well on the sort of driver that has one of those massive "flattened" american cars, with animal horns stuck on the front bumper.

You really do need to meet it, to discover what a truly dirty shade of beige it actually is. :-X

those feet remind me of Kralik thorn feet.
The rim reminds me of Harrach pieces.
I think it's probably Bohemian but just instinct.

I suppose it could be English as well. 
Probably sat well as a pair by candelight on a nice dark fireplace in a room with dark red walls or something.

It's well-made, using some difficult techniques.  :)

It is just a hotch-potch of (to me) utterly ghastly colours and design features that simply should not be together.

And the colours really are ugly in the flesh. The photo is very flattering
