Description
This is an Imperial Glass 418-12 Lead Lustre vase in satin Blue with 4 Opal Festoons & would have been made ca. 1925. This is likely the finest piece of Lead Luster we have had & we think that it is better than some of the more highly thought of Free Hand line. in our opinion, this is that good. Lead Lustre glass was introduced after Imperial stopped making the Free Hand line of art glass which was more expensive to produce because it was hand blown without use of a mould. Lead Lustre was blown into moulds, however paste moulds were used so that the glass would show no signs of a mould seam like the free hand glass. A paste mould is a regular cast iron mould that is lined with a wetted cork or pasted sawdust material. When the glass is blown into the mould there is a steam envelope created between the glass & the wet material. This allows the glass to be rotated while it is blown resulting in a piece that has no mould lines or seams. It would then be struck up for final shaping & decorating. The vase stands 11-3/8 (28.9 cm) tall & measures 3-1/4 (8.3 cm) in diameter at the mouth. The base is also approximately 3-1/4 across. The piece is in excellent condition without chips, flea bites, or staining. It does show two spots of debris in the glass as was common in glass of the time. You can see them in the photos if you zoom the picture. This same vase in form & dcor sold at auction (Matthew Wroda 1-2-2021 Lot 5) for $513 including BP.
