Inaugural Fine and Decorative Arts Sale
Lot 152:
Description
A European pair of late 18th century Georgian cut glass urns with domed lids, they exhibit a marvelous swirled design in the faceted bodies, the lids with equally geometrical cuts that culminate in cove-facets surrounding the finials. They rest over heavy squared bases with a ground pontil, the thick glass with wonderful tiny air bubbles caught in the glass. Rare form.
10 7/8" H x 4 3/8" diameter
