Description: For your consideration is a rare opal iridescent glass vase fashioned in the Horse Chestnut Leaf pattern. It is the product of the Stourbridge region in England, c.1890. This is an outstanding vase from the Art Nouveau era. This vase is mold blown, has a crimped rim and a smooth pontil. Because the glass contains uranium, it produces a fluorescent green color when subjected to black light. When viewed with standard lighting it shows beautiful shades of gold with multiple reflections of color. The vase is in excellent condition with no chips, repairs, cracks, scratches or water stains. It measures 4” in height and has a diameter of 5-1/2” across the top and 3” across the bottom. The shape of this piece was made by several glass companies including John Walsh Walsh and Richardson. It is not a signed piece so exact identification is sometimes difficult. Richardson produced vases in this design and also produced pieces with an opal iridescent finish. It is my belief that this vase is the product of the old Stourbridge firm of Richardson. based on the fact that I have owned three (3) pieces of this design and they are all identical in shape, design and size. Confirmation from other professionals in the antique business have identified all three as being Richardson. However, it should also be considered that it could have been produced by John Walsh Walsh during the same time period. Regardless which company made it, the quality is superb, it is a beautiful vase and worthy of display.
