DescriptionPale blue glass, wavy rim is thickened so looks darker. V-shaped profile. Colorless blown foot. Pale blue stem created by two thick, ribbed canes twisted together to resemble vines; vines extend up the lower portion of the bowl on two sides, with two hanging clusters of grapes applied symmetrically. Grapes are lights blue with traces of hot-applied gold lear; appear dark blue because of thickness. Single grape leaf on each cluster.
