Consolidated Martele' Katydid Fan Vase Ca. 1926, Purple Wash

Consolidated Martele' Katydid Fan Vase Ca. 1926, Purple Wash

Designed by Reuben Haley and introduced in 1926, Consolidated's Martele' line of art glass was inspired by the glorious works of Rene' Lalique featured at the 1925 Paris Exposition. Haley, who had previously been associated with Hocking and Fostoria, worked with his son Kenneth to produce the Martele' collection. An early catalog from Consolidated describes the line as combining "the skill of the artist, sculptor and glass artisan to bring out the hand wrought motifs obtained from nature's own laboratories...the sea, the sky and the land have each supplied an inspiration to the artists."

This gorgeous Consolidated Martele' Katydid Fan Vase features a gathering of charming grasshoppers or katydids perched upon tall, slender blades of grass, finished in a rare pale purple wash over clear crystal. Condition is excellent, with manufacturing bubble inclusions in the glass, and a 5mm nick to the base that is not apparent when the vase is upright.

Unmarked, but guaranteed to be authentic, vintage Consolidated Martele' glass.

H 8.5", W 8", D 4.25", base 3.5".
