Pulled Feather Aurene Glass Bud Vase
This small, hand-blown art glass bud vase exhibits a classic 'pulled feather' pattern, a hallmark of high-quality early 20th-century art glass production. The piece is crafted with an iridescent white or opalescent base glass, featuring intricate, symmetrically drawn cobalt blue and royal purple iridescent trailing that forms decorative 'feathers' or scallops. The surface displays a distinct pearlescent or metallic 'Aurene' sheen, consistent with the styles popularized by makers like Steuben or Quezal during the American Art Nouveau period (circa 1900-1925). The shape is a squat, bulbous ovoid body rising to a short, cinched neck with a gently flared rim. Based on the 12oz soda can for scale, the vase stands approximately 3 to 4 inches tall. The craftsmanship shows sophisticated control over the glass-pulling technique, resulting in uniform patterns around the circumference. The rim appears smoothly finished, and while the pontil mark is not visible, the vase demonstrates professional finishing. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or heavy abrasions to the iridescence, although minor age-appropriate shelf wear on the base is expected for glass of this era.
