New listing! Early 20th century handblown European art glass vase of Bohemian origins with sterling silver overlay in good condition with with no cracks or fractures and only a tiny rim chip less than 0.25". The sterling silver overlay of leaves and berries is very intricately done with varying layers of silver being used to create the almost three dimensional effect you can start to see in the photographs, and silver covers the top rim edge as well for a nice finished look. The green Bohemian or Czech glass has a subtle cranberry iridescence which comes through the sterling overlay of the leaves in particular. It is likely that like many early 20th century glass of this style the silver overlay decoration was done in the U. S. by Gorham - the European art glass was imported to the United States where Gorham added the silver overlay work. Gorham worked in this manner with Loetz and several other top European manufacturers. We are unsure of the manufacturer of this piece, but it most closely resembles the Loetz Metallin pattern which they referred to as "Grünmetallin with silver overlay". The silver is uncleaned and unpolished just as you should want. The vase measures approximately 8.75" high and 5.5" in diameter at the widest point, consigned from the estate of a major Massachusetts art glass collector.
