For your consideration.For your consideration.For your consideration.Item description Offered for your consideration is an exquisite pair of hand-blown Rose Amber vases, acquired from a distinguished estate sale auction. Each measures 8 1/2 inches in height with a base just under 3 inches in diameter. In ambient light, they exhibit a gray, opalescent sheen, but when illuminated, they reveal a striking gradient—amber at the base, transitioning seamlessly to a rich cranberry red at the rim, a hallmark of Amberina or Rose Amber glass from the late 19th century. A sticker on the base attributes them to the Boston & Sandwich Glass Co. as “Fireglow” glass—a light-tan glass that glows reddish-brown when lit, often with enamel decoration. They bear whimsical enamel-painted floral motifs and rough pontil marks, affirming their traditional craftsmanship. Both emit a high-pitched ring when tapped, indicating no hidden cracks, chips, or imperfections. I have meticulously inspected them and can confirm their pristine condition. They will be shipped in an oversized box with ample protective packing, fully insured to ensure safe delivery. Please review all photographs for a comprehensive view and feel free to inquire with any questions.
