Scot Foxwell Vase
The vase is very light in weight. It has three forks for legs. The forks are curved. It looks like the vase is a collage of broken pieces of china cups or plates with all kinds of different patterns with little pieces of mirrored glass used throughout as decoration.
Close to the bottom of the vase on one of the decorative glass pieces, there is a signature (Scot Foxwell or Faxwell), a little hard to pick out last name. Then there is a number or a date 1534. It is this signature that made me curious. Is the Scot Foxwell vase an antique.
I haven't had the vase very long, only a few months and recently as I was dusting, I discovered the signature with the number or date and as I said, it made me curious.
I know very little about antiques or the history of the vase. I was visiting a friend one day and admired the vase for it's unique beauty. My friend said she was helping her friend clean out an old house and her friend gave her the vase and a blender or something like that I can't actually recall the details or who her friend was etc.
All I know is she said she could use the blender but since I like the Scot Foxwell vase offered it to me. I graciously accepted it.
I think the vase is unique and quite beautiful.
