Super rare, super impressive up close too.
It
is NOT shown in the book by Gottschalk and Whitson, "Figural Napkin
Rings: Collectors Identification and Value Guide" , so is quite rare as
it was not in their collection.
There are other bud vase rings with the same pattern on the napkin holder so I know it is original.
See for example the ring in G&W on page 128 in Plate 306, which is Rockford 177.
I have not seen this figural napkin ring before so it is super rare. No previous sales on the Internet I can find either. IKH
