From 1905, Series II Production Number II-2636 Empire vase. 5 3/4 inches high, 4 5/8 inches across the base. This decor is really beautiful in any light. In normal sunlight the uranium oxide in the mix causes it to glow without need for a UV light. I am always amazed when I find one of these without any damage at all. The drapes and balls are so fragile, one small bump would do it in. In fact, I bought this to replace one with damage.

Thanks, Gary. This is the one I told you about. In the photos it looked dainty, but it's a decent size.
You've excelled here, dlfd911!
Loetz architecture!
You have a pair? Or more?
No, not a pair. The other I refer to is another Empire, but in vase form. They seem to be bringing high prices on eBay lately.
Incredible! I have never seen this one before, and it is amazing to be in one piece - the drapes look so fragile! Was this form only used for Empire? I suspect so.
According to the text under the paper pattern, it was only made in Empire, though there were a few different variants.
I don't know what to say but simply breathtaking!......:-)
Awesome piece, love it...
Thanks everyone. I'm very happy with this one.
Words don't really do it justice...
Beautiful! Love the color!
