    Saw this at a yard sale today for $5. My first thought was Phoenix Consolidated as maker. Have since figured out that the bird is a Bird of Paradise. Found a different P/C Bird of Partadise vase with same bird but totally different shape. Couldn't find one in this shape or color (Orangy Pink). It's just over 9 1/2" tall. 001 (449x640).jpg 003 (523x640).jpg
    thank you in advance!

    It looks like a pheasant.

    Look at Tiara remake of an old McKee mold. Likely made by Indiana. Pheasant or bird of paradise. correction Tiara called it Empress vase see page 49 in Ron Teal Sr's book "Tiara Exclusives"

    I believe this is one of Fenton's made for Tiara.
    I'll look for my book and see if I can find the name for you.
    Back later tonight

    Well after pulling out the Fenton Made for Other Companies book. The vase is slightly different. The one Fenton made has a peacock on it. Looks a little different in shape too.

    Indiana did make things for Tiara, so go with what George says.

    Personally I would use Fenton or possibly Indiana as the maker. These are mold blown and perspective can change the appearance of the shoulders. I said likely but have no specific evidence to support it. I looked at Fentons and think it is the same. They also show the other items of Empress sold by Tiara. This is like L G Wright, A A Imports etc collectors do not seem to call who made it and will argue if you tell them Tiara or Wright did not actually pour the glass.
