Yellow Art Glass Vase

[ghopper1924]

Yo:

Looking for information on this yellow art glass vase.

What little I know about it:

It was purchased in the midwestern U.S. at least 75 years ago, but probably did not originate there. I'm going to guess that it was made in the Belle Epoch, ca. 1890-1910. The flowers and branches are hand painted; the bird (kingfisher?) may be transferware of some sort. There are absolutely no markings or signatures on the bottom, just a slight concave area where the pontil was ground down and polished. There is a slender gold rim around the top which is slightly worn. The inside is white.  The vase is 8 inches tall and weighs around a pound or so; it's heavier than it looks.

So I have the usual questions: Where might it have been made? Any way to identify by whom w/o markings? Is my guess re: time correct? And of course, how much might it be worth?

Thanks to all....

Here is a similar but a wee fancier "cased" glass vase of about the same vintage.

1885 ??!!

Fresh off the boat. They're reproducing these on the orient. Similar with cold painted bronzes - lots of repros around.

But ghopper suggests that there is some provenance to the piece..

Or was the reference to the pot on Ruby Lane ? (pretty ugly piece, not to my taste .. the one on RL)

Thanks for the help so far!

Without a doubt this has been in MsGhopper's family since at least the 1920s, possibly earlier. There is no possibility that it's a fake.

Anyway, any more thoughts about value or where it might have come from?  I feel pretty good about the 1890-1910 date.

I have been looking but nothing so far Most all I have found that did cased glass was Mt. Washington or Fenton and I don`t think it either of those !!  Still looking though !!

What does the glass look like in the light? Is the background solid?  http://jamesdjulia.com/auctions/274/images/pr/69323.jpg Would this be the similar artist? Not sure. Isn't the center artwork signed anywhere? The work seems so fine you would think they would have signed it somewhere. That vase on the sight it worth a lot of money. I just comparing the glass to see if the glass is similar.

I was referring to the vase in the link, where they give that date.

I realize that. I had already settled on a date between 1890-1910. Just a best guess though.

Yes.

Also, thanks GreenAcres. As I mentioned, the vase is not signed anywhere. It's not cameo either.

I'm going to guess that it was made in the northeastern U.S. or Europe.

Any ideas on value??

I get an "aesthetic style" feeling looking at your vase.

Somewhat like this one:

Not sure they have their dates right, and why throw Baccarat into the description other than increase search hits ?

Most likely because that's the signature on it !!
