Other items in the lot include a large clear glass bowl with star and cross-hatch motifs, a clear glass bowl with a silver-toned metal rim and internal geometric motifs, a pink frosted glass vessel in a stylised tulip form, and a clear glass bird sculpture with a frosted intaglio design. The assortment further comprises two rainbow-striped glass votives, a red mercury glass votive with a jewelled floral applique, a blue swirled art glass votive, a clear bud vase, a globular jar, and a textured blue glass element.
Condition report:
The ceramic lustreware style vase has significant damage at the rim, consisting of a large break that has been crudely repaired with visible yellowish adhesive residue and associated hairline cracks (photos 6, 7, and 8). The silver-toned metal rim on the clear glass bowl shows visible tarnish and wear (photo 1). The red mercury glass votive exhibits wear and possible loss of adhesive to the jewelled decoration (photo 2). The remaining items in the collection are in generally good condition, showing minor surface scratches and signs of wear consistent with domestic use.
