\"US<\/a>The book Encyclopedia of Victorian Colored Pattern Glass, Book 4: Custard Glass from A to Z by William Heacock, is a marvelous reference tool.\u00a0 It has a nice little description about this pattern (page 51):<\/p>\n

“Introduced in 1899…, this ivory colored glass was their first attempt to compete in the market for “custard”-colored glass.\u00a0 Obviously they did not quite get the color right, as this glass is sometimes ignored by “true’ custard glass collectors.\u00a0 However it most decidedly is not milk glass, and is was called “ivory in the original advertisements, which is what Northwood called his version……Vermont is also known as “Honeycomb with Flower Rim”, with some sources pointing out that the difference between the two is that one has the honeycombs, while the other does not.”<\/p>\n

I don’t know what the Honeycomb pattern is supposed to look like, or where it is generally located, but I can’t see anything inside this particular vase.<\/p>\n

There are flowers on all three sides.\u00a0 The pansies are still virtually intact and the colours\u00a0 are still very fresh, although there is no longer any colour on the flowers along the edge.<\/p>\n

Very pretty!<\/p>\n
