Epergne
« on: October 29, 2018, 08:33:12 AM »
From a boot sale and in perfect condition. A vaseline glass 5 trumpet epergne.
I suppose they're not very popular these days, but still an eye-popper.
Other than an idea that it is mid-Victorian, I don't really know which decades they were fashionable. Any information?

Late Victorian is more likely than mid. They are desirable, especially in good condition and in fact are still being made in China and by Horncastle Glass
