Vase
Several glass factories manufactured lines of glass similar to Peach Blow, but Hobbs, Brockunier and Company’s patented version was the only one made with white opal glass coated with a layer of ambercolored glass shading to ruby. These colors were meant to imitate the glaze of a famous Chinese porcelain, the Morgan Vase, which sold at auction in 1886.
