Featured Etched Green Glass Vase

This is a large vase--10 3/8" high and top diameter of 8 1/4". The etching or engraving is obviously hand done and reminds me of "fine cut" patterns on EAPG glass. The glass itself has a spun look--not sure how to describe it but you can see rings in the glass all around the piece. The pontil is large, slightly indented, and not completely polished. It glows under UV light. There's a ton of shelf wear on the bottom. Sorry the pics aren't that great--I had to use a flash to get detail on the etching/engraving.

I'm thinking this might be Mexican but welcome any thoughts.

Thanks!

If I saw that here, I'd think it late 18th or very early 19th C from the engraving, the pattern and the look of the glass.

 

Thanks, Bear. I'm hoping it's old--at least that's what the engraving said to me. The pontil, though….

 

My immediate reaction is this is a century/agave plant so Mexican it may be and in uranium glass as well.

 

Not agave. Ferns.

 

I see those but the upper center part is what I keyed on. I suppose there may be a fern with a center rising up like that... One does not necessarily have to relate to the other.

 

EXCELLENT!

 

Just myself---I have seen newer glass etched like that.

 

Thanks, everyone! If you do a search for "Stiegel type glass", you'll find vases similar to mine. No doubt my vase was made to copy Stiegel.

 

I have a matching large bowl to your vase. It looks very early and I'd often wondered if it was some students first attempt at blowing/etching. The pontil of mine is very rough and lots of waves and bubbles in the glass. It is also uranium glass. Definitely the same maker though.
