Cannonball Vase. Turned hardwood vase from which a cannonball-sized wooden ball vanishes, later reappearing under a top hat or other object. Height 19 ??. Two repaired stress cracks at the rim, one with refinished minor chipping. Nearly identical in appearance to the vase illustrated in the pages of Thayer?s Magical Woodcraft catalog (1912). A truly fine example of this classic conjuring effect.
