This beautifully vibrant vase was manufactured around 1880-1900 by American 

glass company Mount Washington, and exhibits the high standard which Mount 

Washington blanks should meet. This piece consists of three colors cased glass; 

opaque cranberry as the interior, white and canary yellow as the exterior. 

The hand painted enameled and gilt decorations consists of exquisitely 

detailed pair birds sitting on a branch surrounded by butterflies, flowers, and acorns. It is 

signed on the bottom.

Mt. Washington and its successor, the Pairpoint Corporation, was one of America’s 

longest-running luxury glass companies (1837-1957), one that rivaled its better known 

contemporaries, Tiffany and Steuben. It constantly reinvented and re-invigorated its 

business through creativity in texture, decoration, pattern, and color - developing a 

variety of styles and decorating techniques which were so technically complex that few 

are even practiced today.
