THIS IS A RARE AND VERY CLASSY PIECE OF HAND-BLOWN HAND-PAINTED ENAMELED CRACKLE GLASS ART GLASS WITH HANDLE. THE BODY OF THE MUG (CUP, CORDIAL?) IS CRYSTAL CRACKLE GLASS. THE HAND-PAINTED ENAMEL FLORAL DÉCOR IS DONE IN TOURQUOISE, YELLOW, WHITE, BURNT ORANGE, AND TAN (FOR SHADING). THE ENAMEL WORK IS EXQUISITE AND IN GREAT CONDITION. THE HANDLE IS APPLIED SOLID TURQUOISE GLASS. IN ADDITION, THIS PIECE DOES HAVE SOME GILDING WITH THE FLORAL PAINTING, WHICH IS VERY FAINT FROM WEAR. ALSO THE TOP POLISHED RIM HAS SOME GILDING REMAINING. THE HANDLE STILL HAD A DISTINCT GILT SWEEPING LINE DOWN THE CENTER OF THE GLASS THAT IS INTACT ON THE TOP HALF OF THE HANDLE. There is a slight polish flake at the rim, not visible by the eye, but is discernable by touch. In addition, there is very slight and appropriate age-wear to the bottom where the sheen is worn from the glass slightly. There is a repair to the base of the handle, or perhaps it is a tool-check area ? I?m not sure. Other than that mentioned, there is no other damage. The Item is very clean and totally without residue. NO TWO PIECES OF MOUTH-BLOWN, HAND-MADE GLASS ARE EXACTLY ALIKE. VARIATIONS IN PATTERN AND PAINTING ARE NORMAL, AND ARE CONSIDERED A PART OF THE CHARM OF HAND-MADE ART GLASS. THESE VARIATIONS ARE NOT FLAWS. THE SAME IS TRUE OF CRACKLE GLASS. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR INFORMATION REGARDING THIS ITEM, PLEASE COMMUNICATE WITH DEALER PRIOR TO BIDDING OR MAKING AN OFFER FOR PURCHASE. I AM OPEN TO POST-BIDDING/PURCHASE ...
