- Lot Description
PHOENIX ATTRIBUTED AIR-TRAP MOTHER-OF-PEARL SATIN ART GLASS PEDESTAL VASE, shaded cranberry cased colorless with opal interior and all-over satin finish, Diamond-Quilt air-trap patterned inverted baluster-form body with gauffered tri-fold ruffled rim, raised on a thick colorless stump-form rustic/thorn-decorated solid base; factory polished base edge and polished pontil mark. Probably Phoenix Glass Co. Late 19th century. 11 3/8" H.
Literature: Marple - Phoenix Art Glass, p. 30, pl. 51.
Catalogue Note: The present vase defies easy categorization in form. Its unique construction, being raised on a solid glass base, already sets it apart from the legion of similar air-trap patterned vases produced by Phoenix and their competitors. Still, it would have likely remained unidentified if not for a fortuitous glance through Leland Marple's book, where the author illustrates a Phoenix advertisement showing a "diamond air-trap epergne in die-away color". The illustration's style makes it difficult to identify the exact nature of the epergne, but the shape of the vases is quite distinctive and all of the visible bottoms show the air-trap portions being connected to solid colorless knops/lower extensions. This curious technique is echoed in the present vase, and numerous other characteristics come together to suggest the Phoenix Glass Co. as its likely maker. Whether the vase was intended to function as an epergne's raised centerpiece, or as a standalone item, is unknown.Condition
Excellent condition overall with some discolored scuffs and scratches primarily on interior and around the frosted base, and some open bubbles around the inner edge of rim; shallow chipping around outer edge of base (almost entirely as made).
- Provenance
From the estate of Louis St. Aubin.
