Description

Sowerby & Co.

Malachite Glass or Purple Slag Glass
3 3/4" Spill vase
beautiful pattern in this glass
spill vases were used for small splits of wood to
transfer fire from say your fireplace to a lamp, lantern or perhaps
to light a pipe
these were a very useful and distinguishing item in the home
as "matches" weren't as plentiful
I do accept offers on most all items. The worst I can say is no or counteroffer.
I find my items in many different places from yard sales to thrift stores and everywhere in-between. Most of my items are used and will show use consistent with age. New items may be marked "used" unless I bought them "new" from a store or manufacture. I do not guarantee items are from smoke free homes.
I describe my items to the best of my abilities but somethings may get missed I assure not
intentionally. Please review photos as that gives the best description. If further information is needed or photos just send me a note and I will try to respond as soon as possible. If you have further information on an item that I have not expressed please let me know also. I like to know as much as I can on items I sell. Plus it helps me going forward. Returns always accepted on items not as described. Otherwise items are sold as is.
Thank You
