Collected by Dick Jones over 30 years ago, these smoky twins remain one of the most impossible-to-obtain of all American finds, notable for the aesthetics, unique form and style and sheer rarity of specimens. This is an outstanding miniature, with brilliant lustre, gemminess, and elegant chevron patterns that reflect light from many more angles than you would think - making the whole crystal more bright and noticeable. I have seen only a few of these for sale in the last decade, and none of this size which I liked so much. Ex. Dick Jones, Richard Hauck Collections.
