Seller: camps.audre ✉️ (307) 100%, Location: Victoria, British Columbia, CA, Ships to: AMERICAS, EUROPE, ASIA, Item: 195440380608 ANTIQUE RARE CANADIAN BPCG c1905 12" CRYSTAL MONTROSE VASE SIGN GUNDY CLAPPERTON. This is a magnificent, rare Canadian Brilliant period cut crystal ABPCG vase signed by Gundy Clapperton. The clover shaped signature on the base of the vase is worn but it is distinct and visible -see photo #8. The vase is beautifully hand-cut in a modified Dorflinger Montrose pattern. From the top of this 12" tall vase: It has a sawtooth 6 wave flared rim, with 3 jeweled hobstars alternating with 3 lace diamonds, then 3 panels of 7 graduating size concave bullseye cuts alternating with 3 sections of zippers and lace. The whole sits on a flattened ball pedestal which flares out into a VERY RARE 5" wide very finely hand-cut patterned base with a sawtooth rim. The center of the under base is a 1/2" in depth 'jeweled' hobstar. From the style of the hobstars and the design of the sawtooth, it is probably cut on a Dorflinger blank. Gundy did all of their own cutting but used blanks supplied by the American companies eg: Dorflinger, Libbey, Fry, Union, etc. or European companies eg: Baccarat,  Val St Lambert etc. They polished after cutting using wooden and/or felt wheels -this makes the cuts still feel sharp but slightly gentler on the hands. They were in business in the province of Ontario, Canada from c1900-1936. During this period the American companies were already using acid baths to smooth the cuts of the designs, leaving them much sharper.The condition is immaculate with no flaws at all. It has the normal wear on the base. It has been treasured. Size: It is 12" tall, 5" across the top and 5" across the base. Weight: 4.42lbs. Shipping: All special pieces are triple wrapped, double boxed, tracked and insured for delivery to you Due to weight when packed of over 6 lbs. this item must be shipped expedited.
