THIS LISTING:
An incredible piece featuring their 'Honeycomb' pattern, in the pink/purple variation, circa 1930s/40s. The glass design features hexagonal panels, hence the name. Some of these are finished in a pink colouring, whilst the majority are left clear.
This extra large piece measures approx 25cm (10") tall and 29cm wide. It's huge!
Condition wise there are no chips, cracks or major pattern/colour loss to the pink panels.
These large vases, often called 'witch bowls', were used for large displays of flowers or as single decorative centrepieces.
