An estate collector amassed this huge group of violin / cello glass bottle vases. As you can see from first photos, they come in all sizes and colors. One even has a special metal stand. The following descriptions provide info on each piece.
Pieces are listed based on first photo, upper left to right, starting with back row.
Combined shipping always applies for multiple purchases. If you purchase more than one item, please wait for me to invoice you on additional items so that you are charged the correct actual postage. In the event you pay excess shipping, overage will be refunded immediately to you.

Always happy to pass through discounts on combined shipping. I only
charge actual postage, and always use recycled packing materials.
Note some photos appear redundant because I take photos from all
possible angles. On symmetrical items, these photos may appear
redundant when there are no distinguishing differences or condition issues
between side views.
I gladly accept returns, but please note I do not pay return postage
unless there was a significant error in my description. The item
listed is being sold as is, as pictured and as described to the best of my
knowledge. All dimensions and weights approximate. If you have a question
or an assumption on an item prior to purchase, please ask. I much prefer
to take the time on the front end to make sure you will be satisfied with your
purchase.
Remember, when buying vintage expect imperfections as these items have a history and have been in the possession of others. I try to list EVERY flaw which would be commented on something in an antique or vintage condition – this does not mean all imperfections resulting from normal wear & use require comment. My goal is to have no rude surprises upon receipt.
