Milk Glass Cornucopia Hand Vase

Hand motifs are seen in abundance in Victorian jewelry and housewares.  A hand holding a cornucopia would symbolize abundance and good fortune.  Cornucopia (cornu copiae) translated from latin means "horn of plenty."   This hand vase is made of a milky white glass and features a hand holding a cornucopia.  No detail is overlooked in this vase with even a ring placed on the finger and a frilly cuff adorning the wrist.  This style of vase originated in the Victorian era but was often reproduced later on.  Many of the original molds were used by glass and pottery companies in the 1940s and 50s.  This vase is one of those reproductions.  Nevertheless, it is still a stunning piece that will stand out in your home.   Additional Details Date: 1940s-1950s Materials: Glass Measurements: 8" x 4 1/2" Markings: None Condition: Excellent Cleaning and Care Mild soap and water
