Antique Questions Forum / Silver overlay vase
« on: November 08, 2004, 08:47:22 pm »
Can anyone help to identify new treasure from my daddy's basement?
It is a beautiful black matt finish vase with intricate raised silver overlay. I can't tell if it is made from glass or porceline. Local dealer called it "basalt" but could find no marks or indicators.
It is about 7 inches tall, round pedestal base and a sort of urn shape, The silver overlay is just so pretty with leaf and fruit (grapes and maybe peaches) and flowers, and some very fancy design that I don't know how to describe.
It's kind of heavy and the black matt feels very smooth.
I have Googled it to death and am getting nowhere. Any suggestions?
Thanks for reading this!!
