Ask About | Book Appointment - Victorian Pressed Glass Celery Vases, circa 1880-1900

Victorian pressed glass celery vases, circa 1880-1900, produced by both Canadian and American glass companies.  The scenes in the oval panels are of a castle, house and a windmill.  

In the 19th century celery was considered a delicacy.  To present it to your guests in a special vessel with a flourish was an expression of abundance and good hospitality.

In the 21st century we have seen many collectors display them on a mantel or running down a table, filled with shells, pillar candles, or flowers.  It is rare to find two of the same pattern for those seeking a pair.
