Wasn't this line called "Innovations" ?
FWF, You are correct, in the later years of Quezal they introduced the "Innovation" line of art glass "that resembled art pottery". I like to stay "old school" on this and refer to these as Revi does, "laminated agate". Quezal made this line of art glass as early as circa 1910. But as always, thanks for keeping me honest...
I was at an antique show last year in Chicago. A dealer had a piece similar in shape to this if a bit shorter. It was signed QUEZAL and he didn't know if it was real so the price was somewhat reasonable. The cased iridescence of its color was incredible BUT I didn't know enough about the agate pieces to buy..I can kick myself now. Thanks for sharing.
