This is a supurb, large, original, scenic GallÃ© French Cameo vase which has been in my family since its 1973 purchase from an antique shop in Rochester, Minnesota. I have tried to take photos which show the wonderful color changes in this vase depending upon the light. And also, I have taken some very close-up photos to show the exquisite, detailed acid cutback. Note: the photo of the base (fourth row, right) shows the finished base with marks from a sticker and pads used to protect the surface it may be placed on.
Description from our Sotheby's insurance appraisal in 1991:
"GallÃ© Cameo Glass Landscape Vase. Circa 1900.

Height: 12 1/2 inches, $7,000." Condition: Excellent, with no chips, cracks or repairs of any kind. And definitely no neck reduction (cut-down or re-polish). Height: 12.5" Weight: 3 lbs. 14 oz. (1,760 grams) Because of thevery heavy weight of this vase, the packing (double boxed safe) and shipping charges will be a flat rate of$23.00 for U.S.P.S.
