. Vintage Italian Art Glass Vase Please Keep in Mind: No packing/handling fees Actual shipping/insurance fees only Fast shipping and safe packing for all items Combined shipping available for multiple items Description and Item Information Up for auction is this large example of Barovier & Toso cordonato oro glass. Please excuse the glare in the photos. This is a tall vase with a pitcher-like form (not functional as a pitcher) with one curled, folded side and one side that extends up. This heavy vase stands just a bit under 16 inches tall. It is quite substantial, weighing over 5 1/4 pounds, unpacked. The vertically ribbed glass is clear with gold inclusions that are arranged in a ropes of gold pattern. The flat base is ground and polished with a small pontil mark that was not ground out all of the way. This piece would look fabulous in a Hollywood regency decor. I have other vintage Venetian art glass on eBay this week; please to see my other Murano offerings. No reserve.Please ask for shipping quotes, if desired. If shipping costs seem high, please don't post a poor feedback star rating; I only charge the actual postage/insurance costs that I pay when I ship your item. I use appropriately-sized boxes: not too small (to keep your item safe) and not overly large (to keep shipping costs down). I am not any happier than you might be with high postage costs. Thanks! Identification This unmarked, vintage piece is by Barovier and Toso, designed by Ercole Barovier. Similar pieces are shown on page 31 of Pina's Italian Glass Century 20 reference. Condition This vase looks very good, with no post-production chips or cracks. A small, rough pontil area remains beneath on the flat bottom, as made. W the tip of the curved handle attaches to the side of the vase, t is a fine, 1 inch long annealing or cooling fracture to the handle, as made (shown above). Some small, smooth indents and bumps on the rim are also as made, likely from the tools of the glassblower. These minor production flaws do not detract from this large and dramatic piece. The base has some fine wear scratches. T is very minor residue to the interior bottom from use, which I have not tried to clean. Please review the photos, and ask any questions you may have prior to bidding. Important Notes and Alerts I do not use "Second Chance Offers." As an underbidder, if you receive a "Second Chance Offer," it is not originating from me; as such, it is fraudulent and should be reported to eBay Safeharbor. Out of fairness to all potential bidders, I will not end auctions early by request, so please do not ask me to do so. About Our Auction Images and Descriptions Our images and descriptions may not be used without the express permission of user craigkc.

TERMS OF AUCTION Please read carefully before you bid, as you will be held to these terms. The very small contingency of irresponsible online auction users makes these terms necessary: 1. Sales Tax If an item is to be shipped to a California address, a sales tax of 7.75% will be collected, unless the high bidder provides a valid resale certificate by mail. The resale certificate should include information as required by the California Sales and Use Tax Law. The resale certificate must be provided before the item is shipped, if you do not want to pay sales tax. I can not make exceptions to this policy. If you do not pay the sales tax or supply a valid resale certificate, I can not ship your parcel. 2. Item Descriptions and Images If my images are not showing up, please let me know. Most of the items that I sell are vintage and/or used, so I make every attempt to disclose all damage to items and to provide a detailed description and photos. I try ... read more
