EXTREMELY RARE AND IMPORTANT PAIR OF PRESSED SANDWICH TULIP VASES, brilliant deep violet blue with opal/opaque white marbling, each featuring a deep octagonal bowl with flared rim, panels continuing to lower peg extension, raised on an octagonal base, wafer construction with marbling in the wafers. Boston & Sandwich Glass Co. 1845-1865. 9 7/8" to 10" H.
Literature: Wilson - American Glass, Vol. 1, p. 456, fig. 723, and p. 260, color plate 723; Spillman - American and European Pressed Glass in The Corning Museum of Glass, color plate 11, fig. 844 with text on p. 219; Like Bourne - The William J. Elsholz Collection, Vol. II, p. 341, lot 1264.
Catalogue Note: This is the rarest and most desirable color found in tulip vases. Only a few comparable pairs are known to exist, including a pair at Corning which were formerly in the George McKearin collection, a pair at The Henry Ford, and a pair at Toledo (which were a gift from the famous Mr. & Mrs. Harold Duckworth collection). Each of the known single examples can be considered an icon of early American glass and a cornerstone of any serious American glass collection; true pairs are in a league all their own. The present pair may be the best remaining duo still in private hands.

Condition

Excellent overall condition with one undamaged and the other having only a small chip to outer edge of one base corner and a few other tiny flakes to top surface of foot. Both having expected roughness to the underside of the foot in association with the snap-ring, as made.

Provenance

From the collection of Diana and J. Garrison Stradling, New York, NY.
Skinner, Inc., 8/15/2015, lot 30.
Ex-the Herbert E. Green Collection of Sandwich Glass.
Purchased from Richard A. Bourne, 11/10/1967.
