Antique glass:  blue Japanese floral

The history of this glass: 

The glass comes from the Mt Erin convent in Wagga Wagga. 

Around 1900-1905 

The sisters of the convent decided to expand a section of the convent for returning war veterans and decided they would prefer clear glass so that they could see the garden from their beds.

Lots of this beautiful glass has been thrown out, but Angela's (the woman that i bought the glass from) great grandfather, who supplied the convent with flowers, saved about 6 unbroken pieces. 

Blue japanese floral is incredible difficult to find, very rare and highly sought after.

Beaded pendant made with repurposed glass crystals from vintage European chandeliers. 

Heart size 10x10cm

Approx length 30cm + 25cm chain.

This glass might have small imperfections or marks due to the process of making this glass at the time and/or due to the age of the glass, please enjoy it as a part of its history.
