Vintage Sabin Crest-O-Gold Weeping Gold Double-Handled Vases, Pair
This is a matching pair of mid-century American art pottery vases, likely produced by the Sabin Industries or a similar manufacturer using the 'Crest-O-Gold' process. Each vase features an elegant urn-shaped body with a flared rim and two oversized, arching side handles. The base color is a soft cream or primrose yellow ceramic. The most striking feature is the extensive 'weeping gold' or encrusted gold decoration, which consists of a dense, textured floral filigree pattern applied across the entire exterior. Based on the provided markings, this decoration is 'Guaranteed 22K Gold USA.' The handles and the rim are finished in a solid, high-polish 22K gold gilt. These pieces typical represent the Hollywood Regency or Mid-Century traditional style, roughly dating from the 1940s to the 1950s. The craftsmanship is high for mass-produced American pottery of the era, showing uniform application of the gold leaf. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips or cracks, and the gold maintains a bright luster, though items of this age often show minor shelf wear on the unglazed foot ring and slight thinning of the gold on the high-contact areas of the handles.
