1930s satin black Tiffin glass vase with sterling silver rims and overlay by Rockwell Silver Co., Meriden, CT. This hard-to-find format measures 11" H x 5" W with a 3.75" base. Beautiful on its own, but also of sturdy, heavy construction with a wide mouth perfect for medium-long stems and arrangements. The black satin glass is in very good vintage condition with no marks other than a light scratch on the slope, seen only on closeup (the glass is opaque black throughout). The sterling silver overlay of Japanesque branches and blossoms has no missing pieces, and there is no damage to the upper or lower overlay rims. A production number inscribed on the bottom is 15-1753-11. See photos for more.
