Description

Primary Description: 
Yellow glass, brown glass; purple, green, and brown glass powders; mold-blown, cased, hot-applied glass powders, cut, acid-etched. Tall vase with asymmetrical, cut mouth. The vase is of basically cylindrical shape, most narrow at top and expanding to its widest point in the lower third of the base, and then tapering at the base. Three molded chestnuts and leaves appear at the top of the vase; the rest of the base is decorated with large cameo-cut chestnut leaves. The bottom part of the vase has been acid-etched, giving it a rough surface.
