Antique Alton Trevaise Art Glass Vase with Vine and Leaf Motif

You would be forgiven if you thought that this vase was made by Tiffany since its maker, Alton Manufacturing, hired away several Tiffany glass makers to start its production of competing wares in 1907, the only year the company produced glass.

This example of the Trevaise branding, analagous to favrile, has a flaring bulbous form with mauve ground and freely flowing and lingering tendrils with leaves attached, punctuated with white flowering blossoms. The affect is subtle and soft - a very pleasant serenity.

The surface is smooth, the tendrils subtly tactile.

Marks

The vase has the required button over the pontil and is etched with 06852.
