Rare Straus Fatima Footed Rose Globe – SOLD |
This gorgeous piece is one of the most recognizable of Straus’s work. It’s cut in their Fatima design on an unusual footed-globe blank.
Straus cut large, deep hobstars around the rim of this piece. Separating each star is a panel featuring two parallel bands of notching housing a deep, scalloped channel. This frames a diamond-shaped field of cane and crosshatch cutting. The neck of the piece is fluted and notched and the base is covered with a 24-point hobstar.
The vase is extremely heavy and measures 7″ wide and 6 1/2″ tall. It’s in perfect condition and a clear blank.
