This is another lovely vintage piece of Okra glass available online on my shop.
This is a larger one - and takes the form of a trumpet-shaped vase - which is made of milky white opaque glass on the interior - the exterior is decorated all over with sweeping zebra stripes in shades of bright red, dusty pinks and grey colours.
It has an engraved Okra signature on the base - and the initials: DB for David BARRAS. It is also dated 2001
Okra Glass was owned and run by Richard Golding. The company produced mainly iridescent glass and has been in continuous production since 1979.
It is certainly a most wonderful and highly skilled piece of British Studio Glass. Barras (like Ditchfield at the same time) must have been taking inspiration from Tiffany Glass to produce this lovely piece.
The vase is a larger size - and looks stunning on display. This fine designer piece comes from my own collection. I have owned it for many years.
The height of the vase is 9 1.2 inches - and the diameter at the widest point is about 3 1/2 inches. Unpacked it weighs 700 grams.
I have taken lots of images - these will give you an idea of all the exquisite details in this top-quality piece of Okra. It certainly looks even better in "real life".
UK posting only - it will be sent with UK Royal Mail tracked postage.
