Lancaster Clear Depression Glass Fuschia Cut Wide Rim Vase
Very nice cut glass vase from the depression era has a wide curved rim and a neat hourglass shape. This may be from Lancaster Glass, identified by comparing to the photos on page 144 of Zastowney's recent Lancaste Glass Company book. The vase in his photo has the same shape and is identified as Fuschia, line 01 1/2. Regardless of maker, this is a great shape for flowers, including trailing blooms like sweet peas. Vase is 5 3/4 inches tall at the rim and 8 inches across measuring from rim edge to rim edge. It is in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks, no water stains and very minimal wear. There are a couple of flaws, including small straw marks and one spot on the side where the cutter apparently slipped and put a few tiny extra cuts. The design is fuschia blooms with leaf sprays, repeated three times around the rim. The petals and leaves were cut with fine parallel lines and the flower centers are single cuts. This is a great retro vase that is a wonderful example of the fine cut glass that was widely available during the depression. You'll enjoy having and displaying this one!
