Description

I bought several lots of pink depression glass at an estate sale of a antique store owner. I have several books on depression glass and antique and vintage glass but I can't find this 5" wide from rim to rim 4" tall footed comport with 1" wide gold embossed with flowers and small stripes block optic pattern and the base has a gold trim also but thin and no design the base bottom is 3 1/2" wide. It has all the markings depression glass typically has like "straw marks" but I can't find this piece anywhere. I know there are very rare pieces in this pattern and im hoping this one is also!
