Topic: FIFTH AVENUE CRYSTAL Collection - pattern SATURN. ID = Made in China

[antiquerose123]

Hi, I thought I would share this to you.  This piece of glass has a dual design.  One way it is a Vase, and flip it over it is a Candlestick.  Heavy, heavy. Threads going around it with 4 cut lens on it.  I first thought it was Czech when I saw it on the net, but I was wrong.

This is made by FIFTH AVENUE CRYSTAL. Pattern name is called SATURN.   Still a beautiful eye-candy piece !!

Thanks

It is a shame how disparaging we are sometimes about attractive pieces just because they don't have a traditional 'European' origin  -  but that's collectors for you I suppose, and like you my first thoughts on this one might also have been Czech.         thanks for sharing

I couldn't resist and bought several of them about 10 years ago. Quality is very good and in my opinion were very underpriced for the work that went into them.
