| Absolutely
stunning Steuben Strawberry Mansion vase. This vase appeared in the
last catalog of
the Steuben Glass Division in 1932, the end of the Carder era. The
name "Strawberry Mansion" was given to this line of glass
in honor of the restoration of the historic Strawberry Mansion in Philadelphia
in 1931. The restoration commitee was searching for a crystal dinner
service for the newly restored mansion and Steuben Glass division was
contacted to provide it. This vase is huge! measuring 13 inches tall
and 9.5 inches across the top. It features applied "M" handles
on each side. It's beautifully engraved around the top and features
a Federal eagle motif on the front. The lower part of the vase and
base has a number of oval cuttings. It also has a polished pontil.
The vase is in excellent shape except for a flake / very small chip
off two of the corners and some minor water stains that could be buffed
out with a little effort.
