On offer is a rare and elegant hand-blown celery vase, dating from around circa 1840, a fine example of early Victorian pressed and cut-style glassware. These tall, fluted vases were designed for the formal presentation of celery, which was once considered a luxurious delicacy in 19th-century dining culture.

This particular vase features a beautiful lobed or ribbed design, with vertical optical panels that catch and refract light elegantly. The flared rim is delicately ruffled, with a fluid, organic quality typical of hand-blown pieces from this period. The entire vase stands on a sturdy domed foot with a hand-formed stem, showing subtle pontil marks and age-appropriate wear to the base — confirming its authenticity and handcrafted origin.
