Description

Superb American Art Nouveau (early 20thC) silver-encased green uranium glass vase by the Alvin Corporation (Irvington, New Jersey, USA) decorated in silver with beautiful flower patterns. Hallmarked with Alvin Corp stamp, 999/1000 silver (the highest purity level), registered pattern no. G3362. 19cm diameter x 17cm tall, weight 2.15kg.

Good condition but crack on the base (but remains sturdy).

In 1886 Alvin patented a process for depositing pure silver on metallic and non-metallic surfaces. In this process the article was first coated with silver and afterwards a part of the coating was cut away, thus exposing the base, as in pierced work.

Date of Manufacture

Antik Dragon Japanese & Other Fine Art has dated this Silver Overlaid Glass Vase to the 1900s.

FAQs

Silver deposit glass, also known as silver overlay, is a decorative technique from the late 19th and early 20th centuries where sterling silver designs were chemically and electro-chemically bonded to a glass vessel.

These pieces were produced by applying a liquid silver paste to blown glass in intricate patterns, followed by an electroplating process in a silver bath to build up a thick, durable sterling silver shell.

Authentic pieces often feature maker marks or purity stamps such as sterling on the silver portion, heavy hand-polished glass bases, and natural tarnishing indicative of older sterling silver formulations.

Such an object functions effectively as a focal point on a polished wooden surface, mantelpiece, or glass console table, where the contrast between the green glass and metallic silver can catch the light.

The glass should be cleaned with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, while the silver overlay requires careful polishing with a non-abrasive silver cloth, avoiding any polish coming into contact with the glass surface.
