Title: ID Please for this steuben? Green Glass Vase. ID = Loetz
Post by: jove14 on February 10, 2019, 11:30:27 AM

Hi.
I bought this some years ago from a small antique/collectables shop for my wife for Christmas one year.
As we don't know who made some of our glass we own I think its about time we did.
This one is in a beautiful green with a silver overlay.
It stands only 4.75ins  12cms tall and it has a smooth base.
I suspect it may be Steuben? Glass but I will stand being corrected.
Thanks in advance.
I will put another on next week for an ID.
Joe.

First I have to point out that I have little to absolutely no knowledge when it comes to Steuben! With that in mind your vase made me think straight away of Loetz and their Metallin decor, a few examples here:
https://www.loetz.com/decors-a-z/metalllin

That page on Loetz.com also says "Metallin pieces are frequently seen with galvano-plastic (silver or copper overlay) decoration" - which would fit nicely with your vase.
