Bohemian Glass on Lucille Ball’s Mantelpiece

lucyathome
Above we see a publicity picture of Lucille Ball at home in front of her fireplace, possibly at the Chatsworth ranch home.
At the ends of the mantel are a pair of bohemian glass pieces in the typical style seen on vases and mantel lusters. Crystal glass is coated usually with a white enamel and then a pattern is cut through to show the characteristic green or red glass underneath. Lucy’s pair look like vases, or mantel lusters without any hanging crystals.
