DescriptionSlightly tapered vase made of colorless blown glass by Whitefriars Glassworks in England. Two engraved angels flank each side of the vase and are replicated from the West window screen of Coventry Cathedral in England. One angel with wings fully splayed and legs crossed at the knee, plays a long horn. The other angel appears to be propelling himself for flight while leaning to his right side. He also plays a trumpet stretched out in front of him.
