Pair of Satin Glass Enameled Vases

Glass : Antique : American Art Glass

 

These two beautiful vases were surely made by a master glass craftsman. They are two layered. The inner layer is white, while the outer layer shades from a pale pink to darker pink on top giving it a peach blow look. The top rim is shaped somewhat like triangular leaves reaching up, while the feet are made of applied frosty clear glass, also shaped like leaves. The applied feet have rough pontils. Both vases are decorated with the same enameled floral design. The satin glass feels like melting ice; these vases are amazingly smooth. They are just a bit more pink than appears in the photos - for some reason, the orange tint really came out in these photos.

They are unmarked. We believe they are American, from the late 1800s, although there were a few British and European glass makers who made similar glass pieces during this time.

Condition is excellent given the age of these beauties. There is some wear of the enamel, particularly on what may have been gold tendrils connecting the blue floral dots. There are a few manufacturing flaws here and there, which appear as bubbles. One of the vases has a “leaf” on its foot that is a bit higher than the others, but it stands securely on the other “leaves.” They are 9 1/4” tall and 2 7/8” in diameter at the top.

These are two gorgeous pieces of Victorian satin glass, worthy of a place in your home.

These vases will need to be shipped in an oversized box, due to their size and fragility. Please let us know if you prefer to ship Parcel Post rather than Priority Mail – there is quite a difference in cost.
