Beautiful Fenton Off Hand art glass vase circa 1925. It features Fenton's unique "mosaic inlaid" pattern with iridescent threading and a polished pontil. It's 6 inches high and 4 inches across the base. The vase has an allover iridescent sheen. These vases were only made for about a year and are fairly scarce. The same glassblowers that produced these vases for Fenton also worked on Imperial's Freehand and later on worked on Durand's art glass. This vase is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. There's minimal if any thread loss. There's a bit of wear to the iridescent finish in places around the interior of the rim.

Rare Imperial Cathay crystal "Scolding Bird" with engraved Virginia B. Evans signature. The development of Cathay crystal began in 1943 when Imperial Glass president Herb Gustkey contacted Virginia Evans (a well known artist-designer at the time) to design a Chinese inspired line of glassware. Evans designed 35 different items by modelling them in clay. The resulting models were cast into glass moulds. "Cathay Crystal" was officially introduced in 1949. Each item was packaged in it's own fancy jade velour gift box complete with a 32 page booklet describing the line. The frosted crystal Cathay items with the Virginia B. Evans signature were only produced during the first year making them very rare and collectable. This one is in excellent shape with no chips or cracks.

This vase has me stumped. Definitely French, Art Nouveau period but it's unmarked. The vase has a repeating Art Nouveau style floral etch that repeats itself around the vase. It looks like at one time the floral detail and rim of the vase may have been gilt. Only a bit of color now remains. The dark area looks to be a dark amethyst stain. The bottom of the vase has lots of wear. Other than the loss of gilt, the vase is in excellent condition with no cracks or chips.

Item# 225
Origin: France
Maker: Daum?
Dimensions: 8 in. tall
