PAIR OF GEORGIAN SWIRLED CUT GLASS URNS WITH DOMED LIDS
Circa late 18th century, probably English
Item # C104029
A fine pair of late 18th century Georgian cut glass urns with domed lids, they exhibit a marvelous swirled design in the faceted bodies, the lids with equally geometrical cuts that culminate in cove-facets surrounding the finials. They rest over heavy squared bases with a ground pontil, the thick glass with wonderful tiny air bubbles caught in the glass.
Measurements: 10 7/8" H x 4 3/8" diameter
