# Gorgeous Matched Pair of Antique 14" Cranberry Mary Gregory Art Glass Vases

Up for your consideration is a truly magnificent, matched pair of authentic 19th-century Victorian Cranberry Mary Gregory art glass vases. Standing at an impressive and rare 14 inches tall, these monumental mantel vases feature beautifully detailed, hand-painted white enamel scenes of children—one featuring a boy in a tree, and the other a girl holding her apron.

This pair is a stunning example of late 1800s Bohemian/European craftsmanship, complete with an elegant gold-gilt ruffled rim and a classic flared trumpet shape.

# # # 💎 Key Details:
* **Height:** 14 inches (Rare, monumental size)
* **Color:** Deep ruby/cranberry pink hued glass
* **Age/Era:** Late 19th Century Victorian (Circa 1880–1900)
* **Craftsmanship:** Hand-blown with a prominent rough (open) pontil mark on the bottom. Hand-painted white enamel decoration.
* **Motif:** Complementary matched pair (Boy and Girl figures facing inward)

# # # 🌟 Condition Report:
This pair is in spectacular, collector-grade condition.
* **Glass Clarity:** Crisp and perfectly clear. No internal clouding or "sick glass."
* **Damage Check:** Flawless. Zero flea bites, chips, cracks, or flea-bite nicks anywhere along the delicate ruffled rims or bases.
* **Enamel & Gilt:** The white enamel artwork remains highly detailed and beautifully preserved. The gold gilt accents on the top rims show minimal, expected light wear consistent with age, but remain mostly intact.

Catch the eye of fellow collectors with this fascinating piece of American history! 🏺 Up for grabs at The Cinder Block Shop is an authentic piece of Clifton Art Pottery "Indian Ware," handmade in Newark, New Jersey, right at the height of the Arts and Crafts movement between 1906 and 1909. While the company was short-lived, they made a massive splash by replicating ancient Native American pottery with incredible accuracy. This unique, unglazed terra-cotta water jug features a striking stirrup handle and bold, black geometric swirls—a design inspired by historic pottery discovered in Arkansas (which the makers proudly incised right into the bottom!).Flipping it over reveals the ultimate treasure hunt for pottery nerds: the official Clifton maker's mark (a drafting compass), the shape catalog number "244," and a rare secondary "CLIFTON" stamp. Because this matte slipware is highly sensitive to the elements, finding an absolutely flawless, pristine survivor like this is incredibly rare. This is a true collector's treat and a gorgeous, 120-year-old slice of American ceramic artistry. An identical example of this exact Arkansas-style stirrup jug is preserved in the permanent collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, making this flawless, pristine survivor a true museum-grade centerpiece.
Come check it out in person before it's gone!
Price: $350 OBO
