U.S. Glass Palm Beach Marigold Goofus Glass Whimsey Vase
Description
When gazing into this little vase, it's reminiscent of a dreamy Maxfield Parrish scene with its gold and amber grape clusters and vines. This hyacinth shape is not often seen. It's 3 1/2" tall and 4" wide at the top opening. It weighs .89 lbs. I purchased it from the Tom and Sandy Monoski Collection in 2014.
At first I thought it was whimsied from a plate, such as the one you see it sitting on here, but the vase has three panels of grapes in the pattern whereas the plate has four panels of grapes. So, the most logical, original shape from which this whimsey vase was made was the spooner which does indeed have only three panels of grapes.
I can see why this fascinating pattern is so heavily collected. I know I'm well on my way!
