Mt Washington Cased Blue Satin Uranium Glass Coralene Seaweed 8" Vase 1885-1890

Description

Standing at approx 8" in height and approx. 5.5" wide at the widest point, This is a Mt. Washington Coralene Seaweed vase in cased blue satin glass.
Condition issues:
There is a chip on the lip of the vase(see photos). It is hard to distinguish it as a chip because of the decorative lip.
There is some staining inside the bottom (see photos).
There is some dirty areas on the glass beading. I did not want to "scrub" these areas clean so I would not damage the pattern. This cleaning will be up to the buyer.
There are some areas where glass beads are missing, but they are mostly intact (see photos).
This piece is heavy and thick glass. It fluoresces very well under UV light. The color is spectacular. The blue deepens as it nears the upper half of the vase.
Made between 1885-90.
