Ivy balls were made for rooting ivy cuttings in water — the crimped top opening guides the stems — but the form has outlived the fad and now reads as pure mid-century sculpture.

Westmoreland Glass of Grapeville, Pennsylvania made English Hobnail milk glass from the 1940s onward; the underside of the base is molded in rays around the company's intertwined WG mark. 7″ H × 4½″ W. Note: a second, different milk glass vase — a Fenton hobnail egg vase — is listed separately in my shop; the two are not a set and are sold individually.

Excellent condition — please review all photos, which show the exact vase you will receive. See less
