Description

Four blown glass vases stand in a row on a dark surface against a plain pale grey backdrop. From left to right: a tall, thin-stemmed piece with a flat disc foot and a flared disc rim; a bell-shaped body with a short neck; a slender-necked piece with a flaring foot; and a squat globular body with a tall, wide, flared neck. The glass is weathered, with dark mottling and pale patches of surface loss, and a number label appears in the lower right corner.
