PRESSED THREE-PRINTIE BLOCK VASE, brilliant deep amethyst, boldly flared plain rim and medium conical bowl with lower knop, joined by a thin wafer to a ring-topped octagonal baluster-form standard and square base. Probably Boston & Sandwich Glass Co. 1845-1860. 10" high, 5 1/8" diameter rim, 3 1/8" square base.

Note: This vase represents an excellent example of adaptive mold use often seen in Sandwich products. The upper portion of the vase was produced from the mold designed for the Three-Printie Block lamp font, but instead of closing the top to form the font dome, it was expanded to form a vase

Undamaged except for two minute flakes to lower base edge, 1/4" scratch to inner rim, several milky surface impurities/bubbles at rim as made
