Good day,
Recently acquired and I have no idea who made it, or when.
The vase is 6" in height and about 4 1/2" at the widest part of the body.
Going from the checklist of things to include, I would say that it is a fire polished rim.
The base is deep and rounded and I've found no indication of mold lines or remnants of a pontil.
The design looks to be a silver or a silver colored application of 'something' - a little course to the touch.
The iridescence is both gold and blue and color transmutation(?) is dramatic in areas.
There is a mark on the bottom that looks like a crowned shield with 'something' in it - design(?) initials(?).
Me: I'm basically starting to collect glass and know little about it. For years, been dealing with and collecting Japanese pottery, porcelain and watercolors. This is a new area for me and I've a lot to learn
Any help ID'ing this piece would be appreciated - I wouldn't mind finding more, but knowing what I'm looking for would be quite helpful.
Thank you for your time.
