This beautiful vintage flower holder, or posy, is in the shape of a cornucopia. Made of ruby glass, it has gold or mica flakes in a swirl pattern running the entire length. I say gold because the flakes are quite tiny, more like a dusting of gold than of mica flakes. This could be old (Victorian), as spangle glass with mica or gold was very popular at that time. The inside of the holder is ruby glass w/o flakes and the outer layer is ruby glass with flakes. The rim is ruffled. Length: 6 ; opening: 3 x 3.5 .
Condition: there are several tiny chips in the outer layer, the largest is 3 mm x 2 mm, and another 1.5 cm l. x 4 mm w. Location: imagine the cornucopia displayed on a stand with the opening facing up and the curl at the tail end facing up. The wear would be on the back and on the bottom. If displayed laying down with the opening on one end and the tail at the other, the damage would be in the back. The damage described is reflected in the price.
