Wonderful Cameo Glass Acid Cut Back Vase featuring 2 Flying Geese or Ducks and Art Nouveau Reeds and Bubbles.Attributed to CARL GOLDBERG OF HAIDA BOHEMIA/CZECHOSLOVAKIA circa 1910-25. This stunning vase has a semi-transparent Opalescent/Iridescent finish. The base glass is actually a Vaseline Yellow/Green. The textured ACB surface has so much Blue in it that it photographs more Blue than it is in person, but it is still stunning to behold. This item has an added Fumed Metalic finish which has some wear as seen in the images, but is striking just the same. This is a relatively LARGE item standing 10 1/4" tall and measuring 5" across at its widest point. The item is a Shear top as it has no pontil on the base, but it still retains much of its rim Fumed metalic finish. We are attributing that this vase was produced by Carl Goldberg of Haida Bohemia/Czechoslovakia. This vase has No chips, cracks or repairs. Ground Insured UPS Shipping is $12.00 in the Continental U.S.

Stunning Vase signed "GENUINE CAMARK" in Gold within the shape of the State of Arkansas on the base. This item has a textured finish very similar to that of the J.B. Owens Pottery Company Opalesce Line. The Textured surface is BLACK though. The Iridescent King of Prussia Daffodil is in Brick Red on Gold with some shiny Black. The decorated surface appears to have been applied and fired on the White Clay Body BEFORE the Black layer was applied and fired on. The interior of the vase has a Glossy very Dark Brown/Black Glaze and can also be seen on the very underside of the vase as well where the Company Mark is located. This vase is very similar to Wellers Lasa and Lamar lines as well but somewhat different as well. The vase stands 8" tall and measures 5 1/2" across at the widest point.

Very Rare Artist Signed and Decorated ROOKWOOD COBALT BLUE JEWEL PORCELAIN VASE! Colored Jewel Porcelain Glaze Rookwood items are becoming one of the Hottest trends in collecting Rookwood. Known for being scarce and beautiful, they often have condition problems which shortened their productions runs making them very hard to find indeed. The vase we offer is Much Darker than our images show, this is caused by our flash. The item is harder in person to see the decoration, but one can clearly see the stunning beauty that Fred Rothensbush created in this work of Art. The vase stands 8 1/2" tall and measures 5 1/2" across the top. The myriad of bubbles trapped within the glaze itself is one of the stunning effects that Jewel Porcelain Glazes are known for and this item is no exception. The lovely Orchids grace the vase 360 degrees and from almost top to bottom with a band at the top and another inside the top rim. The depth of color of the vase is closer to that shown in the image of the interior of the vase. The base is impressed with the Rookwood Reverse RP and 14 Flame Logo, XXIV for the year 1924, shape #2734, incised FR for Frederick Rothensbush, and a V denoting that he originally intended the vase to be of Vellum Glaze. The Glazing department decided to ignore the artists request and instead glazed it in Cobalt Blue Jewel Porcelain Glaze. There is a wheel ground X which accounts for a few very very tiny pin holes in the glaze which do not detract from the vase in any way. This item is ABSOLUTELY UNCRAZED, which for this particular glaze is VERY RARE!!! No chips, cracks or repairs. Ground Insured UPS Shipping is $12.00 in the Continental U.S.

This is a Magnificent Circa 1893-95 L.C. Tiffany Studios *CORONA* Original Vase. This vase measures 9" across the base at the widest point and stands 6 1/4" tall. First let me say that the Blue that appears in the images actually shows as a GOLD Phantom Luster on the item. For some reason it always photographs Blue. This item has Large Green Iridescent Pulled Feathers up the Body to the Neck of the vase and is surrounded by Gold Iridescent Phantom Luster Finish. I honestly believe this item to be from the first year or two of Art Glass production by Louis Comfort Tiffany while at the Corona location. This vase is of relatively thick Paperweight glass and has a very odd Film to the interior that seems to have pealed away or not adhered in some areas. I am not sure if this was done at the time of production or afterward. The exterior has stunning iridescence which is unlike any later Tiffany examples that I have carried or seen (and that is a fairly good amount). The vase absolutely looks like the Decayed and Decomposing Egyptian and Syrian Glass that Louis Comfort Tiffany was trying to replicate. The Wonderful Organic shape is clearly one of his earliest designs. without restrictions or strict structure this item fills a large space. The base has an unfinished and un-ground pontil which is common for Tiffany's earliest work. One can view very similar items in the Metropolitan Museum of Arts American Wing Collection. The vase exhibits some small pimples, bubbles as well as one open bubble we have included a close up of. This is how this item was created and we make mention for accuracy sake alone as this item is extremely Rare and Beautiful in its own right. The vase is Unsigned and we do Guarantee that this item is as we have represented. It has been in our personal collection for decades. Should one wish to remove the interior film, we are very much aware that this can be done and no one would know that it existed, but, this is how we received this item and we will pass it on in the exact same condition just in case it was originally meant to be this way. Please view the images and remember that it is much more Phantom Luster Gold and Green and very little blue actually exists in the finish. This item has No chips, cracks or repairs but does have some in the making anomalies. Please Inquire regarding Price and Shipping fees via Ground Insured UPS Shipping.
