Item Description
This exquisite vase is so unique and actually quite frustrating for me since I couldn't identify the pattern. I contacted Kat Krivda, who saved me a ton of additional frustration. Here's what Kat had to say, "Probably the reason you couldn't find it is that it isn't technically a part of a pattern, but a single 'specialty' vase put out by U.S. Glass around 1898. It was their vase No 16049; there were several of them, all with a 16000 number. Heacock & Bickenheuser show a catalog reprint of them in their book 'Encyclopedia of Victorian Colored Pattern Glass, Book 5, U.S. Glass from A to Z'."

Specialty Vase No. 16049 was made by US Glass Company in 1898. Apparently, US Glass put out these specialty vases with no pattern name - a number only - in two sizes, 6" and 7 1/2" heights. There were 2 vases issued as No. 16049 - the first a straight vase like mine and the second, a twisted version. The Fourth Edition of the "Standard Encyclopedia of Pressed Glass" by Edwards and Carwile indicates that these specialty vases were produced in emerald green with gold trim and "We are sure these were also made in clear glass." Well, I'm sure of it too since I'm holding one with gold trim. Think about the fact that 1898 is 112 years ago and just look at the gold! It's remarkable. This unique trumput shaped vase sort of looks like it has 3 oval shaped windows surrounded by beading. Those windows flare out at the top with the shape of the vase, forming a clover shaped opening at the top. The top is a gold trimmed very tight scallop pattern - not quite saw tooth because it's much softer. It stands 7 3/4" high and the top is about 3 3/4" across the center of the opening. The footed base measures about 3" across its center. So, while this is not really an Early American Pattern Glass - EAPG - piece, it really doesn't fit any other category either, since it's a specialty piece of pressed glass, probably modeled after the Galloway pattern. The bottom foot has a petal flower design. It has multiple patterns which feel "almost" like cut glass. There is a cross design with what may be facets, torches, and daisies and the dish has saw-tooth edges.

No chips or cracks - just lovely and appealing. This is truly one of the most beautiful vases I've ever seen. This is a stunning piece and would be wonderful for entertaining!
