Pressed Glass Grape & Vine Vase with Flash Coloring

Story

Post-war households craved color and texture, leading factories to produce these 'flashed' pieces that mimicked expensive cased glass. This vase captures the transition from Victorian ornate styles to mid-century decorative abundance.

Maker / Origin

While reminiscent of companies like Imperial Glass or Fenton, the lack of a mark and the specific mold quality suggest a high-volume manufacturer from the mid-century era. These companies specialized in 'EAPG' (Early American Pressed Glass) revival styles that brought elegance to everyday dining rooms.

Condition & Value

The owner notes the inside color is peeling; this confirms it is 'flashed' or 'stained' glass rather than true cranberry or uranium glass. This surface wear is common but reduces the value by approximately 50% compared to a mint specimen. Value is driven by the decorative appeal of the bi-color gradient.
