Vaseline Glass Slipper – Miniature #011

This is a piece of Vaseline glass, a highly specific type of glass and one that is very collectible. To find out about Vaseline glass check out the post at https://shoeboxes.wordpress.com/2007/12/12/vaseline-glass-the-magic-glass/ This is very similar to the slipper #010, but it is a re-production. The details are not as defined and clear, and the shoe is heavier and slightly larger than the original. The color is also a bit deeper than the original shoe.

This shoe features a daisy and button pattern, the buttons being the circles between the flowers. This can easily be seen in the detailed photo below.

This shoe is probably from the 1960s. Manufacturer is unknown. Value is estimated at $20.00. This was an aquisition to the Lillian P Wood Memorial Collection purchased in the late 1990s, unknown purchase price.
