Victorian 1870's Overshot Cranberry Glass Ruffled Top Art Glass Antique Vase

  

This is a marvelous 1870's Victorian era cranberry overshot vase with a wonderful fluted rim that is heavily gilded. This piece was marked as Portland Glass Company, Tree of Life pattern, but had it appraised by a glass expert and she did not believe it was Portland Glass. The pattern is beautiful and has an iridescent quality that makes it sparkle in the light. There is no damage that we can see, only some slight wear to the gilt at the rim of the top as would be expected from this old a piece of glass. The vase is 9 1/2" in total height and about 5" across at the widest point. An absolutely wonderful antique vase that would be a fabulous addition to any art glass collection!
