DescriptionRare flower-form vase of clear glass with an opalescent white bowl. The edge of the irregular base is folded under, the knop is four-sided and ribbed, and the rim of the galleried bowl is undulating and scalloped. The domed base is decorated with lime-green threading that forms five leaves. The applied stem is rose-colored and has four pairs of parallel lime-green lines separated by blue line. The bowl is decorated with olive-green, brown and tan. The interior of the vase has a heavy orange-red iridescence.
