Description
Small and fanciful antique Victorian whimsy enameled crystal vase.
Petite Victorian whimsy vase was exported from England during a time when the Crown was taxing crystal. Until the mid 1800’s England taxed leaded glass by weight. To continue profitable exports, English glass makers made glass objects smaller to lower the tax obligation. This beautiful little ‘whimsy’ vase is a result of England’s high taxes on export glass.
This beautiful Victorian era vase was made of quality hand-blown emerald lead crystal with delicate hand-painted enamel flowers. Measures 6½” tall on a 3″ wide base. No damage or wear. Some light residue trapped inside near the base. 3/4″ wide neck opening perfect for single rose or 2-3 daisies.
