When I got it in the mid 90&#039;s, I spent quite a few minutes looking to be certain there were no repairs. Since acquisition it has enjoyed a secure position in a case, protected against injury.</p><p><br /></p><p>A recent thread about a carved Vernon oval vase got into what color it was; &#039;white&#039; was perhaps not so much dead-white or appliance white, but a yellowish shade. I thought of this example of that color: it looks like the cream that wasn&#039;t homogenized, floating atop the quarts of milk the Arden milkman brought right into our kitchen in the 50&#039;s, with plenty of butterfat to shade it to that subtle, delicious off-white. This one isn&#039;t glossy, but a very slight satin finish, sweet in my fingers.</p><p>It is ~5 3/4&quot; tall, ~4&quot; diameter.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s my excuse for this post...that, an&#039; the joy of getting it out, fondling it for a moment, an&#039; showing it to y&#039;all!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]426882[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]426883[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]426884[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]426885[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]426886[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
