This elegant vase stands a majestic 11 inches tall. The stem has beautiful hand cut facets with a solid stepped foot. A wonderful vase for the grandest of tables. Katherine is a reproduction of an Irish original, from the Georgian period of great glass making. Although this is a wonderful flower vase with ideal balance between the shape of the vase and flowers, it was originally used as a pineapple stand. Pineapples were displayed as a sign of welcome and to show off ones wealth, as of course they were very scarce in the early 1800s. A truly proud piece of crystal. The design inspiration for William Yeoward is drawn from antique crystal pieces originally made in England during the 18th and early 19th century.   William Yeoward Crystal came into existence in 1995, the result of a remarkable collaboration between Timothy Jenkins and William Yeoward. William Yeoward, already a noted designer working in the field of furniture, lighting, fabrics, and interior accessories, with a store on London’s fashionable King’s Road, was an avid collector of antique crystal, but felt that there was little contemporary crystal that was truly beautiful. Timothy Jenkins, third generation in the family owned crystal business John Jenkins, founded in 1901, had an intimate knowledge of the European crystal industry and for some years had been making reproductions of antique pieces.   Please email us with any questions before placing your bid, as sale is final.  U.S. winners to pay $12 shipping within 5 days of auction end via Paypal -CONFIRMED address only   Place a Bid!
