FLUTED BLACK GLASS VASE...Ribbed Pattern Classic elegance with real STAYING POWER...This is a lovely, timeless black glass vase. Standing 9-3/8" tall x 3-5/8" diameter at the base and 3-3/4" wide at the top. This was a challenge to photograph...so, by necessity, I had to edit the photos (lighten them) to expose s all the detail. (Please note that the final photo was taken with the vase tilted up...yet another somewhat futile attempt at exposing the compliment the lovely ribbed pattern gives this piece.) Hold this beauty to the light and you see that beautiful amethyst color so well known in this glass. Black glass is the 'classic' misnomer...it is not really black, at all!!!
