Quartz (Gwindel)
A sparkling, extremely lustrous smoky quartz showing a dramatic twisting effect ("gwindel"). The color here is just incredible - not the typical "smoky" you usually see, but a richer and more saturated color that is dark and yet beautiful. The piece is totally transparent, with an inner sparkle and brilliance to the quartz you do not always get. It is complete on the front and tops, and shows a small amount of edge wear, and one small broken tip, on the sides...acceptable in context of age, overall quality, and price. This piece was formerly in the collection of George Vaux, (1863-1927), the noted collector of Philadelphia, and comes with his handwritten label. also recently in the Richard Hauck Quartz Collection.
