Lot 4837
Islamic "Vase." Persia, c. 11th to 12 century AD. Height: 3-7/8". Pastiche. The neck and shoulders of an ornate bottle in heavy green glass has been married to the faceted base of a vessel in deep blue. The upper part has a marvelous, jewel-like iridescence in violets, blues, coppers, and reds. A nifty little decorator piece, and a wistful rembrance of what it could have been.
Estimated Value $250 - 350.
Ex Ainley Collection; Malter XXXVIII, lot 89.
