VERY GOOD CONDITION. NO CHIPS OR CRACKS. WILL BE INSURED WHEN SHIPPED TO YOU.THE BLACK-LITE BULB (not included) IS SHOWING IN THE PICS WHEN USING IT TO MAKE THE FIGURES VISIBLE IN THE GLASS TO SHOW UP GREEN IN COLOR.
THIS CONSOLIDATED GLASS PIECE WAS DISCONTINUED CIRCA 1933. THIS PIECE IS RARE BECAUSE OF THE 4 FOOTED STAND.   APPARENTLY FROM COLLECTORS OPINIONS, THEY HAVE NOT SEEN THE STAND BEFORE, EVEN FOR THE SAME CENTER PIECES THAT WERE MADE WITH A BLUE WASH COLORING.
THERE WAS A SIMILAR PIECE MADE WITH A BLUE WASH OVER IT, BUT I DONT KNOW IF THE DANCE OF THE SEVEN VEILS / DANCING NYMPHS CENTER PIECE LIKE THIS ONE, THAT WAS MADE WITH A BLUE WASH OVER IT, ALSO HAD URANIUM GAS GLOWING FIGURES.
LALIQUE USED SIMILAR DESIGNS IN MANY OF THEIR PIECES. Â URANIUM GASES IN THE GLASS CAUSE THE FIGURES TO GLOW UNDER BLACK-LIGHT. Â ITS A BEAUTIFUL EXQUISITE UNUSUAL PIECE.
IF YOUR INTO THE ART NOUVEAU / ART DECO / OR LALIQUE LOOK, DONT LET THIS PIECE GET AWAY WITH THE RARE STAND.  IT LOOKS MUCH NICER AND MORE CLASSIC IN THE STAND THAN JUST SITTING ON A TABLE BY ITSELF.
THE NUDE FIGURES MOLDED IN THE GLASS ARE RAISED.  THE BASE/HOLDER MAY BE SILVER PLATED, BUT THERE IS NO PITTING IN THE METAL AND NO SILVER MARKS TO IDENTIFY.
THE METAL FRAME IS PHOTOGRAPHED FROM THE BOTTOM AND SHOWS LOTS OF METAL DETAIL WORK INCLUDING 2 BOUQUETS OF FLOWERS. MAY HAVE BEEN A PRESENTATION PIECE TO A WEDDING COUPLE OR A DISPLAY CENTER PIECE AT WEDDING RECEPTIONS.
DIAMETER 18in, and 3-1/2in HIGH IN THE METAL FRAME. Â ONLY IDENTIFYINGÂ MARKS AREÂ IN THE METAL AND SAYS (PAT. APPL.).
DONT MISS THIS
VERY EXTRODINARY VINTAGE PIECE
TO ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION FOR AN INVESTMENT.
NO RETURNS ON THIS ITEM.
