This is the thrifted treasure I gave away at the montly meeting of Connections Over Coffee at Mystikal Voyage on Friday. I wonder if it should be ‘mouth blown’ but hand blown seems to be the term used when I did some online research.
I was a little disappointed that this was my give away, it seemed so plain – I usually go for something funky yet close to tasteful. This is a really nice vase though. The bottom is very heavy and there is no chance of flowers (or pens and pencils) put in it to tip over. It is about 8″ tall.
The person who won it was very pleased and already had a placed picked out to display it. She is using it for the shape and the way it reflects light rather than as a vase.
Several people expressed a wish to win this prize. Once again, a reminder that not all of us like the same things. Something I thought was a little ‘less than’ others thought was perfect.
Thrifted cost: $0.49
Estimated original cost – $20 – $25
