$40.00 $40.00

Exquisite Consolidated Glass Vase. This vase was part of the “Con-Cora” Line in the 50's. Vase stands at an Impressive 12 3/4 inches tall, has a Diameter at its top edge of about 5 1/4 inches and a Diameter at its base of about 5 inches. We love the concept of one very important sprig of beautifully hand painted Green leaves kind of twirling down the length of the vase. It is very pleasing to touch the artistically executed slim brown branch and the little curly leaf tendrils which have been delicately highlighted by the Artist. The Artist’s initials appear to read: “WH.” We have been told that this stands for Wally Hendle, an artist at Consolidated. "Wally" Hendle was really Waltrude, a German war bride who married an American GI. She was a trained artist in her native Germany before coming to the States. It is she who encouraged the talent of Helen Mixter, who at age 16 in 1945, started to be a decorator while still in high school. Helen would later be named Head Decorator at Consolidated. The Gold edging on the exterior just below top rim gives nice definition and balance while the three raised glass bands slightly below center make for a comfortable and convenient area for carrying. The fact that the back of the vase has just one sprig of these beautiful green leaves gives another wonderful canvas for the viewer to admire without competing from its magnificent front view. This Tall Glass Vase and its gold top edging are in Lovely Vintage Condition. No chips, cracks or repairs.
