A Rare Pair of Petite Vaseline Swirl Teardrop Shades

£1,000 / set

A pair of Vaseline glass teardrop shades, circa 1900, each blown with a swirling ribbed design that emphasises the iridescent surface. The small scale and distinctive greenish-yellow tone are characteristic of Vaseline glass production of the period. Their organic teardrop form aligns with the decorative vocabulary of the Arts & Crafts Movement and the influence of early Art Nouveau glass design in domestic interiors.
