Up for sale is a fabulous Victorian vase that is rainbow mother of pearl with gold enamling. The top is crimped and turned down. It is in the "raindrop pattern". The vase reacts to black light because of the uranium content in it. It measures 11 1/4" tall. The exact vase can be seen in Shuman's "American Art Glass Book" on page 98, but Mr. Shuman's vase most probably was unsigned, because this vase was made by Harrach. It is signed witih the propeller mark with numbering on the top and the bottom.
Actually, it is not a propeller, but it is "feather plumes". It was derived from the Harrach family crest. The marks were crudely formed and they were applied by hand with an ink stamp, which accounted for their crude appearance. This vase is circa 1880. It is in perfect condition.
FOR EXACTNESS OF POSTING, PHOTO SHOWS A BUBBLE BURST. THIS WAS DONE IN THE MAKING, AND IT IS NOT A DAMAGE IN ANY SENSE. THE BUBBLE BURST IS ON THE SIDE OF THE VASE, SO IT CANNOT BEEN SEEN WHEN VIEWING THE FRONT OF THE VASE. THE PHOTO IS BLOWN UP TO SHOW THE BUBBLE BURST. IT IS APPROX. 1/4". YOU CAN ALSO SEE ANOTHER BUBBLE ABOVE AND BELOW THE BURST, WHICH HAVE NOT BURSTED.
THIS IS A SERIOUS FIND FOR A SERIOUS VICTORIAN ART GLASS COLLECTOR. Shuman's book is eleven years old and he listed it at $1,100 plus. |
