Pattern Glass Celery Vase

Collectibles : Glass, Crystal : Pattern Glass

 

This is a victorian era pattern glass two handled celery vase. I believe it is a variant of the 10 point star pattern by Higbee Glass Co. It measures 6" tall and 4 3/8" in diameter. At one time someone had glued a cork bottom to this and I have not been able to get it all off. There is a very tiny stress crack in one of the handles that does not go through. It happened during the manufacturing when it was left in the mold too long. As the glass starts to cool it starts to shrink and when the part that makes the hole in the handle stops it from normal shrinking because it is in the way, the handle will start to separate. This is a manufacturer's flaw and does not affect value. I just found this so am photographing it and will process it and add it to the auction at a later time. Other than what I have described, there is no damage. Happy Collecting!!
