This exquisite Victorian-era art glass vase features the classic Coin Spot (or Coin Dot) pattern in a vibrant Cranberry Opalescent. The piece showcases a stunning gradient of deep cranberry pink at the ruffled, crimped rim, transitioning into a delicate opalescent body. The "spots" are well-defined and boast a high degree of opalescence, typical of high-quality 19th-century production.
The vase stands on a slightly domed, pedestal-style base and features a graceful ovoid body that leads to a tight, vertically ribbed neck and a wide, undulating ruffled top. This is a quintessential piece of Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) art glass, perfect for collectors of Northwood, Fenton, or general Victorian opalescent ware.
