RARE RED GLASS Naked Divided Core w/ 3-Wide Razor Ribbons!

Condition: Near Mint
Grade: 8.6
Size: 5/8″

Rare RED GLASS Naked Divided Core Swirl w/ 3-Wide Razor Ribbons & Fantastic Symmetry!  Incredibly hard to find these in any condition.  Real GOLD was used to create the red glass, which was expensive to produce so very few exist.  Also the glass was brittle, causing this soft-glass type to be typically found with lots of damage, so of the few that were made most didn’t survive.  Original surface in NM condition.  This one has a couple hits but displays nicely. Early faceted pontil dates this rare gem to before 1880.
