Ultra Rare & HTF CHERRY RED GLASS Divided Core Swirl

Condition: Mint –
Grade: 9.5
Size: 21/32″

ULTRA Rare Cherry Red Glass Naked Divided Core Swirl w/ 4 wide swirling inner white ribbons and no outer layer of thread or ribbons. Colored Glass Swirls with Divided Core Centers are extremely, much more uncommon than latticino core types.  Even more rare still is that this one naked.  Being in RED glass makes this a crown jewel – red glass required GOLD to produce and very very few were ever made.  Very minimal evidence of handling or as-made touches. Early Faceted pontil dates this HTF gem to before 1880.  From my personal collection.
