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).
