{"product_id":"vintage-ruby-flash-glass-pedestal-vase","title":"Vintage Ruby Flash Glass Pedestal Vase — Ruffled Rim, c.1890s–1920s","description":"\u003cp\u003eRuby flash glass is beautiful precisely because it records its own history. The rich cranberry-red surface catches the light as though it is glowing from within, while small areas of loss reveal the clear glass beneath — a reminder that this delicate colour was applied as a thin surface layer, not formed as solid red glass throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis late-19th- or early-20th-century pedestal vase has a vertically panelled trumpet form, a flared ruffled rim and an integral hollow foot. Small bubbles remain suspended in the glass, and the rough pontil scar inside the foot is still visible — details that make it a lovely piece for an antique glass collection, a cedar sideboard or a single-stem display. A considered addition for anyone drawn to old glass with both colour and evidence of making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe exact maker and country of origin are unconfirmed. The form belongs to the wider European and American tradition of hand-blown ruby flash glass, but it is offered honestly without assigning a speculative Bohemian or American manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paneled trumpet vase \/ flared ruffled bud vase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa 1890s–1920s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ruby red \/ cranberry over transparent clear glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18.5cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop opening:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.5cm diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 216g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-blown glass with applied ruby flash colour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hollow pedestal foot with rough, unground pontil scar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vertical panelling and small suspended air bubbles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unconfirmed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery good vintage condition. No structural chips, cracks or hairline fractures. There are small, age-appropriate areas of localized colour loss to the ruby flash layer, including around the pontil area and inside the lower part of the vase. These losses are consistent with wear to the delicate applied surface colour and are clearly visible in the photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe photographs form part of the condition report — please review all images carefully before purchasing.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandle gently and wash by hand only with lukewarm water and a mild detergent.
