Monumental Vaseline Glass Epergne
Monumental Vaseline Glass Epergne
SOLD $1,595.00 Sold: Mar 16, 2025 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
We purchased this epergne about 20 years ago from a New York dealer but it was shipped directly from Czechoslovakia. Don't know if it was new then or an old item. An epergne very similar to this one was selected as a favorite piece at a recent Vaseline Collectors Convention. No one that walks past our display fails to comment on it. The flowers look to be the budding water lily blossom attached to the long stem that reaches up from the pond bottom, one lily is a dark green leaf. The attachment set-up between the lilies and the base is unique and functional after inserting the side lilies into their position, the center lily then is threaded into the center hole and it has a lip that then locks the side lilies in place, making it impossible for them to accidently fall out. It stands 24" tall to the top of the center lily. Shipping costs will be high do to the extra packing requirements and large box. I ship these high value items by FedEx because they don't damage stuff as often as the other carriers. Hate to see it go and hope it finds as much love in it's new home as it has herein ours. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
