Description:

The vase displays the ever popular mottled Purple with gold iridescent frit glass. The Ruffled top wonderful hand formed appearance. What makes this an interesting piece is when they executed the blowing they rolled it in a gold frit glass powder while the vase was hot and attached . This picked up the Glass pieces and then it was put back in the oven and fired and the gold frit became part of the vase. When you stick your fingers in side the vase you can feel the vertical ribbing. The Gold iridescent Frit was fused to these ribs on the outside but you cannot feel the ribs on the outside. This creates somewhat an optical illusion. The piece is unsigned as is the case with these pieces. This is a quality piece of early American Art Glass. In period era catalogs it was indistinctly called Venetian, Pompeian, or Japanese, which all refer to imported fashion crazes of the period. This piece was made very early, circa 1898-1906. There is documentation that this was a design in the 1898 catalog of The National Glass Company in which Thomas Dugan was a partner. The Dugan Glass Company came into being 1902-1906.
