Vintage Imperial Glass Wide Draped Rippled Iridescent Purple Violet Blue Yellow Gold Green Red Tall Carnival Vase. Measures approximately 10 inches to the top of the drape and 4.25 inches across the drapes and 3.25 inches at the base of the Vase.
This is a stunning piece!!!!. I do not think that even with the high quality pictures and video that I have that I can do this piece Justice. I have seen several Imperial draped rippled vases in the past and own several. However, I can say that I have never seen one that attracts so much color and changes color - shifts in the light as this one does. The purples and Gold intermingle and are extremely outstanding and at the turn of direction it intermingles with hues of blue violet and purple with flaring hints of green and red. Then again when turned another direction they colors change completely radiating up and down the stem gently or vibrantly depending on the speed of the turn. This is indeed a master work, worthy of being noted as museum quality in my opinion. I will be glad to answer any question send additional pictures or videos when engaged in private chats.
This is a RARE find....
Condition: Pristine Museum Quality Example Collector Quality in my opinion... There are no chips or cracks identified. Surface level scratches under high magnification that are consistent with display use on the bottom. Some Glass has internal flaws that are due to the manufacturing process. This piece has few and slight air bubbles within the glass but are very difficult to find under magnification. I do not think you will find a better piece and the quality of this item brings it to the highest end of valuation. The quality and scarcity of this piece will make it highly sought after from collectors and those looking to preserve works of art like this for centuries to come.
