Top-Quality Ohio Fern Bowling Pin Vase – SOLD |
Ohio Cut Glass’s Fern has always been a popular pattern amongst cut glass collectors. I’ve always found the quality inconsistent with the somewhat higher prices – that is until I came across this piece. This is the nicest piece of Fern I’ve ever come across. A particularly heavy, crisply clear blank displays this design so well, and in a unique way with the band of hobstars in the center, rather than the edge.
The fern cutting runs up the sides of the vase – with deep miters dividing each panel of fern cutting (please note how deep they are from the photos of the base of the vase). This cutting is divided in the center with clear button hobstars and panels of crosshatching above the chain. The ferns continue up the vase to meet fans at the rim. The base is covered with a deeply cut 24-point hobstar.
This piece is in perfect condition and measures 12″ tall, 6 1/2″ wide and weighs a whopping 8 lb 4 oz. It truly is on a another level compared to other pieces in Ohio’s Fern.
