Beautiful Antique Early American Pattern Glass Vase - Victorian Period

Glass : Antique

 

This Early American Pattern Glass vase was made by the McKee Glass company and is the Nortec pattern. This pattern was manufactured somewhere between 1904 and 1907.

Early American Pattern Glass is a pressed glass commonly referred to as EAPG, where the pattern was manufactured into a variety of shapes commonly found on the Victorian table. To manufacture pressed glass, the liquid hot glass was squeezed or pressed into a mold that imparted the shape and design of a pattern. Glass was first pressed in the 1830's, and it reached the height of its popularity from 1870 to 1910.

The vase is 9" in height and the opening is 4 1/2" in diameter. The vase and the saw tooth rim is in excellent condition! There is one very small blemish on the base, see photo # 2.

I have used this vase numerous times to hold beautiful spring bouquets for luncheons, and it definitely adds elegance to the table!
