Description: | Pair of spill vases of purple malachite pressed glass in the form of an up-ended bell supported by three legs. The legs are moulded in the form of tree trunks and join onto the outer edge of the pbase of the vase bowl, the latter being contiguously relief-moulded with the foliage of a tree, thus forming three 'trees' supporting the vase. The legs are also discretely joined to the 'handle' of the bell, the latter being relief-moulded with a fine 'lattice' effect. The overall effect might be described as 'chinoiserie'. Unmarked, probably Davidson, c1885.
