This is a late 19th century Victorian glass hyacinth bulb vase, hand-blown in the United Kingdom. The vase is 5-3/8 inches high, with a glossy finish and colored glass in a rich shade of teal.  The bulb vase  is in absolutely beautiful estate condition with NO chips, NO cracks, NO cloudiness, NO repairs and NO restorations.  The underside shows age appropriate authentic wear, which is correct for the piece.  It was made during the late Victorian period, for forcing spring hyacinth bulbs or other flowering bulb plants to bloom indoors and can be used in any room as a free-standing decoration. The vase is an authentic antique item, weighing 1 lb, and requires hand washing only.
