<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marie Forjan, post: 12597390, member: 147&quot;]Hi all, I just got a large lot of toothpick holders and there are a couple of stray items included. One is a black amethyst glass match holder or spill vase?</p><p><br /></p><p>There is much speculation on what it is. The original owner thought it is a rare Boston and Sandwich Glass piece. Someone working with him thought it may be British. I found a couple of listings, one expired Ruby Lane listing says it&#039;s a Victorian Mini Vase. </p><p><br /></p><p>This listing says it&#039;s a Victorian spill vase: <a href="https://www.20thcenturyglass.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;products_id=10005" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.20thcenturyglass.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;products_id=10005" rel="nofollow">https://www.20thcenturyglass.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;products_id=10005</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This one has me confused, they are calling it &quot;Victorian Glass Greener Co ? Pressed Purple/ Black Sandwich / Stippled Ivy Vase&quot;, how it can be Greener and Sandwich I don&#039;t know.</p><p><br /></p><p>This one is saying it&#039;s probably Sowerby: <a href="https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/antique-sowerby-black-glass-spill-1774394466" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/antique-sowerby-black-glass-spill-1774394466" rel="nofollow">https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/antique-sowerby-black-glass-spill-1774394466</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This one says it&#039;s Boston and Sandwich: <a href="https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/miniature-antique-sandwich-glass-428310808" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/miniature-antique-sandwich-glass-428310808" rel="nofollow">https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/miniature-antique-sandwich-glass-428310808</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It measures 3-1/4&quot; tall, 2-1/8&quot; across the opening and 1-3/4&quot; across the foot. There are no marks.</p><p><br /></p><p>I went through 12 PDFs I have of Sowerby catalogs dating from 1874-1931 and didn&#039;t see it. I have quite a few pieces of Victorian Sowerby and frankly, the detail of the molding doesn&#039;t look right to me. It&#039;s not sloppy but I just don&#039;t think it&#039;s fine enough for them.
