[QUOTE="toomanytocount, post: 261741, member: 5115"]To understand why my heart it still pounding after 40 minutes, you should know I collect this type of glass and have my own new website as reference material about it. This vase appeared on an auction site, as I was doing some research, in the 'for sale' category, and I was in the 'sold' category. The colors and the shape jumped at me, I clicked on the image, and this auction was already in progress, hurried to register, this took an hour or so, with 15 minutes to go for my item. Start price $25., bid a max amount a bit higher, low and behold no other bidders, and it lasted all of 40 seconds if that. Just got my confirmation email. This glass decor is called 'canari shimmy pfau' in the Ruckl literature for 1928. There are 6 different color combinations with the cobalt blue on the bottom which looks like black flames on a satin finish. It is an odd shape, typical angular base, probably a barber's or other type of bottle, with a silver collar. The first in this color combination in my collection. So excited, the Gods were smiling tonight. If you don't like, I don't blame you. It's a clunky, heavy brightly colored type of glass. When you hold it, that's when you see the good workmanship, hand blown and molded, fired in a furnace, where all the work happened. No dainty details, just plain and simple lines. :woot::woot::woot: [ATTACH=full]81970[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
