This exquisite piece is a prime example of Victorian Art Glass from the renowned Stourbridge district of England. The vase features a translucent "Nile Green" or light aquamarine body with a "crimped" or "pinched" rim. The standout features are the applied amber-colored trailing rigaree "feet" that extend up the neck and the multi-colored "Matsu-no-ke" style applied rose. The strong green glow under 365nm UV light confirms the presence of uranium oxide in the glass batch, a hallmark of high-quality Victorian decorative glass.
