Mt. Washington Glass Royal Flemish Vase Measures almost 13" tall, Shape is #565 Rare

Here we have a beautiful piece of Victorian art glass from the 1870's to early 1890's  This vase was made by the Mt. Washington Glass Co.  It is a piece of their highly prized "Royal Flemish".  This vase is the vase shape #565.  It is decorated with heavy gold lines as well as light gold tracery bordering to create segments in the design.  There are lightly colored enamel florals all over the vase.  The highlights of the vase are the immaculate griffin and  medallions, each which have a background color giving it a stained glass look.  The vase measures approximately 13 inches high and 7 inches wide.  It is in great condition for its age, please look at the many pictures i have included to see the actual condition. The only issue i have found is on the very bottom around the base there are 2 small chips but being as this has a very low profile base this cannot be seen when it is sitting on display. I have seen similar Mt. Washington pieces like this bring between 3K to 5K at High End Auctions. I do not expect this to reach that amount as of the condition, was just using it as a reference. I am putting a reasonable reserve price on this auction.
All and all This would make a fantastic addition to any ones Art Glass Collection. Please message me with any questions before bidding and bid with confidence !!!
