Green Opalescent Honeycomb Vase You are bidding on a rare and hard to find pressed-glass opalescent vase manufactured at the end of the Victorian Era, around the turn of the century. This pressed-glass vase features a stretched honeycomb pattern of interlocking hexagons. The vase is unusual--It has nine points, each with three small knobs. The skirt of the vase has nine petals, which have a pressed ribbed pattern on the underside that shows through the petals when they are viewed from above. The vase's base features a pressed, many-rayed star set inside the border of ribbed petals. At least 3 shapes appear in the honeycomb pattern: an oil lamp, a footed bowl and the vase. The vases appear in white, blue and green opalescent. Green is the most valuable color, followed by blue and white. This vase is in excellent, original condition with no chips, cracks or repairs. As you can see from the photo's it has been tested and authenticated under black light. It measures 12 3/4" high and the base measures 3 5/8" across. According to Opalescent Glass from A-Z rev. ed (2000) p. 68, William Heacock, originally attributed this pattern to the West VA Company Hobbs, Brockunier. However, the editor, JoAnn Elmore, who revised Heacock's works, notes that the pattern may have been made by another company, possibly Phoenix, Northwood, Dugan or even a British glass works. The author of "The Standard Encyclopedia of Opalescent Glass" write that the pattern is called Hobbs Honeycomb by many collectors. "The more we see of this pattern, the more we are convinced it was made by someone else." I am listing this vase with a low reserve. Email with questions or information. $12.00 S/H/I in the USA.
