The warm honey-gold tones seem to shimmer with inner light, while intricate swirled frosted etching adorns the generous belly of the piece, creating visual movement that draws the eye inward. Two magnificent 24-karat gold accent bands frame the upper and lower portions like precious metal cuffs, transforming this already elegant ornament into something truly fit for a pharaoh's treasure room. The elongated stem tapers gracefully downward, creating perfect balance, while the hand-etched finial at the crown adds an extra flourish of sophistication. In ancient Egypt, vessels like these held sacred oils, precious unguents, and treasured essences—substances believed to hold the very essence of the divine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ornament is a masterclass in the Egyptian glass-making tradition. The glassblower works the Pyrex under intense heat, shaping the bulbous upper chamber with constant rotation and precision air-blowing, then drawing the stem into a slender, graceful taper. The frosted etching is applied by hand with a fine sanding wheel, revealing layers of depth and luminosity within the glass itself. The two 24 kt gold accent bands are carefully painted and fired at high temperatures, creating permanent golden \"seals\" that enhance the ornament's regal presence. When hung where light can reach it, this piece becomes a miniature lantern, casting warm amber glows and catching every nuance of illumination with its etched details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Specifics:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-blown Pyrex glass with swirled frosted etching and hand-etched finial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 4.25\" H × 1.75\" W (10.8 cm × 4.4 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm honey-gold with frosted etching throughout; clear glass stem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo 24 karat gold-painted accent bands (upper and lower); gold-tone findings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes twine loop for hanging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Egyptian Museum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48472309235865,"sku":"210000129701","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0421\/8204\/9945\/files\/fr3ijh29vvllegldysis.jpg?v=1785683657","url":"https:\/\/www.countrychristmasloft.com\/products\/golden-honey-urn-with-etched-finial","provider":"The Country Christmas Loft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
