The ample surfaces are the perfect display for the outstanding iridescence - - from subtle translucent to transparent creme-silvery to flashy mottled greens, purples, and wonderful copper-rose-oranges. Intact and perfect! Height: 11-1/2". Extraordinary preservation for glass this size, coupled with its entrancing coloring, makes this a rare treasure indeed!
