Antique Victorian Pink Opalescent Art Glass Epergne
Just look at this elegant beauty! It is so lovely and when the light hits it, it's stunning! This is a large gorgeous pink and opalescent English Victorian (1880's) hand-blown art glass epergne with three small and one large swirl trumpet vase held on ruffled base. An ornate brass fitting sits on top of the base, and the large center trumpet screws into the brass fitting. It measures approx 16" H x 9 1/2" W diameter. These graceful Epergnes were used as table decor and were adorned with fresh flowers. The tray base with filled with treats, sweet meats or soft fruits.
Such a lovely dinner accessory! Notes: No cracks or chips!
It's possible the brass tulip fitting was strengthened or it's the old soddering remnants when it was made - on the underside - not visible. Under the brass piece there is a minor chip in the glass.
Some of the original glue is visible on the fitting. Under the glass base you can see gentle signs of the piece having been moved back and forth on furniture it sat on. All signs I've noticed are minimal. This piece is in excellent condition but I'm noting anything I see for clarity.It will be packed with the utmost care.
