| Description |
A rare--possibly unique--early example of the
glassmaker's art, this vase appears as if carved
from jade, alabaster or some similar gemstone.
In fact, as glass, it was even more precious to the
age that created it. Time has in no way
diminished that rarity, and we today can
continue to delight in its astonishing beauty.
