Glass wig bulb - melted colors - 19th century - Glass, Very rare

Beautiful authentic wig stand with bright colours. After working hours, the glassblowers in the glass factory experimented with glass for themselves. These massive glass balls with all kinds of pieces of glass and air bubble decorations gained a certain reputation. These ‘crown’ spheres are experiments of glassblowers. No one knows who made these spheres. This is a beautiful item. Height 18 cm. Circumference sphere: 26 cm Diameter base 9 cm. Weight 830 grams. A lot of beautiful colours and variations, the air bubbles are intentional. This really is a showpiece in your interior, and these items are not very common, a rare find! This lot will be well packaged and shipped by registered post with tracking number.
