I have posted one of these before. More recently I found the twisted one. Green iridescent glass was very popular during the Art Nouveau period and a lot was produced, as a quick ebay search will confirm. Whatever a seller may call them they are often unidentifiable. However I can identify these as I have the same shapes in known Welz décors.
Height 19 cm./7 inches
Beautiful vases, Peggy! I actually had one in cranberry but sold it before I knew it was Welz. I particularly like your middle photo - very nice! :)
They did this iridescence better than most, and the squeeze and twist highlight it so well.
Just lovely Peggy, and peaceful glass.
Really interesting to see these shapes in a less familiar decor - an Art Nouveau update on Victorian spatter!
They look silky smooth.You look at them with pleasure.
Michelle, Thanks for the information. Though I do have Welz pieces in cranberry I've yet to find a vase. Now I know they're out there :)
Karen, they are indeed peaceful, compared with their shelf fellows! Nice to hear from you, and thus know that you are not singed :)
IronLace, Difficult as it is to date Welz it's clear they covered both styles. They just grabbed some handy moulds to bag some of the market craze for iridescent green glass :)
Yvonne, I'm pleased with your comment..... my previous pictures didn't give even a hint of silky smooth :)
