SALE Antique Jack in the Pulpit Spangled and Spattered Glass Vase

Glass : Antique : Vases : Jack In The Pulpit

 

This vase has been a cherished part of my personal collection for many years, but now we’re in a smaller house and it’s time to downsize. She’s a real beauty from the late 19th century, 3½” in diameter at the most bulbous part and 6¼” tall at the back point. Clear glass has inclusions of opaque white, moss green, and amethyst glass swirled throughout, along with silver flakes. While still hot, the back rim was pulled up to a point and the front gently ruffled and folded down, mimicking a jack-in-the-pulpit flower. The base has a pontil mark.

Though this type of glass is often called ‘end of day’, that’s actually a misnomer in most cases. The correct term is ‘spatter’ or ‘spattered’ glass, and the color combinations were usually carefully chosen for the most pleasing effect. When flecks of silver or mica are also included, as is the case here, it’s called ‘spangled’ glass.

There were many different companies in the U.S. and England producing this type of glass in the 1880-90’s, none of which was signed, so the exact maker cannot be determined. This lovely vase is in excellent condition and has no flaws or issues of any kind. You may feel a minute speck of roughness on the rim where a piece of silver is exposed, but this occurred when made and is not a flake or other damage.
