Iridescent vase with silver overlay
« on: January 09, 2019, 02:40:20 AM »
Hi.  I'm new to this board so if my query is not quite right let me know!  I have a small vase, about 5" tall, made of iridescent blue glass with a silver overlay.  The overlay is marked with a La Pierre mark and I'm trying to identify the glass maker.  I've not been able to find a maker mark I can identify.  The only mark is on the bottom, it is etched 1/23 and below that the number 6.  There is a mark on the bottom where the vase was taken off the blowing pipe.  The vase itself as I said is about 5" tall with a trilled very symmetrical folded/ ruffled top.  Any insights in my little vase would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks.  I hope this post works.  I've included a couple of photos.  The important one of the bottom didn't photograph very well but you can just make out the etched numbers.  The color is off in the photo; it's actually the same color as the main body of the vase.  As I said in my previous post the vase is about 5" tall and I've verified that the silverwork is by La Pierre based on a mark on the silver. If more photos are needed please let me know and I;ll take a few more.   Any suggestions on the glassmaker would be greatly appreciated.

Thank-you, those are great.  :)
I think those should be enough for somebody who might know what it is, to be able to recognise it.
It is rather lovely.

There are a number of Loetz vases online with LaPierre silver overlay.
I don't know much at all about Loetz but hopeful someone will be able to help you and confirm a glass id.
Is it possible to have a photograph in daylight against a white background so the decor on the glass can be seen clearly please?
That might help id a decor as well as the shape.  It could be something like Loetz Cobalt Papillon at a guess from the color but without seeing the actual decor clearly it is very difficult to tell.
Very pretty.
