Featured Cobalt with Silver Overlay

My grandmother's vase has been with me as long as I can remember. In downsizing recently and packing her vase for transfer, I again wished to know more about her vase, its age and general information about the overlay process. Though having read a bit about overlay process, I know very little know about the manufacturer, approximate age and process in general and would love to hear from anyone with this knowledge. Thanx in advance.

 

it's lovely, with almost an Art Deco vibe , to me.

We'd luv to know where Granny is from....and some bigger pics , including the bottom.

 

the glass , and overlay can come from 2 different sources..

 

Grandmother and Grandaddy lived their entire lives in a small north Georgia USA town, traveled very little and were of modest means. Enclosed are additional very amateur photos. Appreciate your interest.

 

8 inches tall, 3 inch circular base, 4-1/2 inches at widest point, then tapering to 2-3/4 inch neck and rim at top.

 

Beautiful & not cracked !. Most of the silver overlay i see is Art Nouveau,this looks Deco w/just a touch of Nouveau.

 

any thoughts on manufacturer and age?

 

More like silver deposit than overlay, IMHO. Can you get more pictures in better focus?

Sometimes you see the word sterling or a decorator's name in the silver.

 

@Pearl Girl , in the top right "shoulder" of the vase in this photo, it looks like there could be some stamps in the silver. Are there any, or is that just an illusion or reflection?

 

Looks like 1910s or 20s to me.

Utterly stunning! I’m intensely envious and would recommend that you send it to me ASAP, to assist you in building up your personal reserve of fine karma.

 

I see what Figtree thinks is a mark, but when enlarging the spot, I think it's just reflection. Neither silver overlay or deposit but a plated metal mounting, at least that's what it looks like to me.

 

I see that chip off the plating on the left. I think you are right, Kent.

 

This is Dugan's Diamond and Clubs pattern circa 1910. It was made in several colors and had gold or silver trim. Some tableware was made as well.
