Welcome to Antiques & Moore! This listing is for a lovely late 19th Century Art Glass celery vase in Maize glass developed by Joseph Locke in 1889. The body of the vase is a single layer opaque white glass with a glossy finish shaped as a corn-on-the-cob with textured hand painted golden-yellow leaves outlined in gold. The leaves stand in relief from the corn textured background.
This type glass was also produced by the Libbey Glass Co. In Toledo OH after the factory was moved and was produced in a limited quantity. Maize glass is pictured in syrup pitcher form on page 93 in the book "The Collector's Encyclopedia of American Art Glass" by John A. Measures 6 1/2" high with the top measuring 3 1/4" in diameter.
