\"\"<\/a>I have bought so much glass over the last few months it has been quite alarming!\u00a0 I almost think I am developing a glass addiction issue.\u00a0 Ha ha!\u00a0 That ship sailed a really long time ago.\u00a0 But I have bought some items I have never had, along with a few that I have owned and lots in colour.\u00a0 I finally have started taking some photos.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This interesting piece was acquired at the relatively new antique mart in Ajax – the Vintage Vendors<\/a>.\u00a0 I had never visited since its opening but found myself in Ajax last week.\u00a0 What a great place!\u00a0 I was very impressed.\u00a0 It is nicely curated, clean and has a great variety of items, including a nice selection of glass.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was sure that this was a piece of Portieux Vallerysthal (PV), name unknown.\u00a0 I have subsequently found that Imperial glass made a piece that is similar or in fact exact.\u00a0 It seems to have been called ‘Drama’ or ‘Devil and Roses’.\u00a0 I don’t know its real name or line.\u00a0 But since there is no Imperial mark on my vase I am assuming that it is the earlier piece by PV.<\/p>\n

It is interesting with faces of gargoyles\/devils on two sides and flowers on the other two sides.\u00a0 I’d sure like to see it in PV’s other colours.<\/p>\n
