Item Description
A highly sculptural, decidedly floral looking combination from the famous iron mines of Egremont. Glassy, translucent, pretty mint-green, barite "petals" beautifully frame a 1.7 cm, glassy, calcite "pistle". The blades turn a pretty baby-blue on the periphery. The interior is pristine and the periphery wear is certainly only a modest detraction to this very aesthetic old-time combination classic. Ex J.G. Dixon and Thomas Wolfe Collections.
