This auction is for a hard to find blown Heisey vase etched with their orchid pattern. It stands 9" tall and is about 4 1/4" in diameter across the top. Its number is 4192 1/2. When I was asked by a friend to sell this piece, I tried to look it up in the leading price guide on Elegant Glass and did not find a 9" vase, nor was it in any of the older versions of that guide that I have. I did find it in a publication I have by Louise Ream and the Bredehofts. Overall, the vase is in excellent condition, with one exception. T is an area just under the rim that is about 1" long by 1/16th+" at the widest, w it has been ground. The repair is excellent and I did not notice it at first. I have to wonder who fixed it and when it was fixed, since my friend found it in a thrift store for much less than such a repair would cost. T are no other problems with the vase. T are no cracks, scratches, cloudiness, etc. The glass must contain flint, since it rings like a bell when you tap it gently and it is crystal clear. The orchid decoration is perfectly suited to the shape of this vase, and in my opinion, displays much better than it does on most other pieces. Be sure to supersize the photos if you want a better look at it and a better look at the repair.. I send out eBay invoices specifying shipping and handling costs within 24 hours of an auction
