It sits on a round pedestal foot.

It is made in Crown Tuscan, Cambridge’s signature opaque shell-pink glass, which glows warm and translucent when light passes through it. The color shifts from blush at the foot to pale pearl at the rim, like the inside of a real shell.

It works as a centerpiece for flowers or fruit, or as a sculptural object on its own. In excellent condition, with no chips, cracks or repairs.
