Title: Mary Gregory style vases with filigree jeweled top and base. Any info please?
Post by: createdbear on September 10, 2021, 10:44:09 PM: Hello all,
Can anyone offer some info on this pair of vases. The pics, I think, show quite well what they are. The metal work is rather pretty and the jewels are just paste. Yet again, Google images have come up with nothing...well, 1 pic of a vase that was on etsy but has now gone. I think they may be German or Austrian but am not sure. As always, thank you for any info.

These kids look suspiciously slim to me, but this glass is not from an age or an area where I have much confidence. ;)
