AFTER CHRISTMAS SALE SALE SALE SALE !!! FOR A LIMITED TIME, NO HANDLING FEES. SALE ENDS FEBRUARY 1, 2006. DON?T LET THIS ONE GET AWAY !!! ****** THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT GIFT FOR ANY OCCASSION. WE GIFT WRAP FOR $10.00, AND ARE WILLING TO SHIP TO THIRD PARTY ADDRESSES WITH PREARRANGEMENTS AFTER PAYMENT. THIS VERY UNUSUAL AND RARE HAND-MADE, MOUTH-BLOWN, CRYSTAL CRACKLE-GLASS DECANTER WAS MADE BY BLUE DEL OF HUNTINGTON, WEST VIRGINIA. Blue Del was located on 10th Street and Eighth Avenue. The factory was only in production for 10 years, from 1940 to 1950, when it was destroyed by a fire. Other than in a photograph, I have never seen another of these Decanters. Not only is the body of the decanter mouth blown and crackled, but also the stopper is mouth blown and crackled. The neck of the body of the decanter and the neck of the stopper have been ground for a perfect original fit. THIS BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF CRACKLE ART GLASS IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. IF YOU ARE A COLLECTOR OF RARE CRACKLE GLASS, THIS IS A MUST HAVE. Except for appropriate age-wear, there are no cracks (other than the crackle), scratches, chips, flea bites, or other damage. The Decanter and Stopper are both clean and free from residue. The bottom is deeply dimpled, and the pontil is slightly rough. NO TWO PIECES OF HAND-MADE, MOUTH-BLOWN GLASS ARE EXACTLY ALIKE. VARIATIONS IN COLOR DISTRIBUTION, BUBBLES IN THE GLASS, AND OTHER DISTINCTIVE BLOWN-GLASS CHARACTERISTICS ARE NORMAL, AND ARE CONSIDERED A PART OF THE CHARM ...
