Geoffrey Baxter - Bark Vaas Ruby Red - Sold

Very beautiful vase by Geoffrey Baxter for Whitefrairs Glass Factory, England. The vase dates from the 1960s/1970s and the sturdy glass has a distinctive "tree bark" texture, both palpable and visible. A beautiful gradient of a deep ruby red color at the base, rising to lighter towards the top and finally transparent clear glass at the top, shown in three consecutive photos. There are light scratches on the underside and a small chip on the bottom/side (see the last photos). The chip is more felt than seen and is excellently camouflaged by the structure of the vase. Otherwise in excellent condition, no damage. In (sun)light it is brilliant in color and particularly decorative, with or without flowers. A beautiful object that will naturally be packed and shipped with great care.
