Nicely decorated Kew Blas vase in " King Tut " pattern. Actually the term King Tut was coined by Durand Art Glass Co. and should only be used for their pieces. But it seems now that any coil design is called King Tut. It's also like the word Aurene. It really should only be used for Steuben pieces but now any iridescent plain surface in gold especially is called "aurene". Signed : KEW-BLAS
