I have been sleuthing around for Eugen Marcus silver overlay glass. He apparently used Loetz blanks fairly often. My latest is an example of a Loetz vase for which the pattern is missing. I had (I think jimtim bought it) a rubin vase in PN II-595, a later analog ca. 1900.
Eugen Marcus was a skilled silversmith who served as the Hofjuwelier to the Kaiser. So far, I have found his silver overlay vases between 1885 and 1895. In Ricke's reference book, the PN II-595 pattern shows an earlier version (which apparently came in multiple sizes) dated to 1894. This perfectly fits my expectations that this is a Eugen Marcus commissioned vase.
This vase is 5" tall x 2.5" dia. It is red cut to clear, then the clear is acid treated. You can find the seams where the red and clear meet. The vase has a polished pontil and a flat-ground base. The silver is heavy, detailed with very precise cleaned edges.
That is gorgeous with that overlay!
Thanks Mrstyndall! The pics do not do the vase justice!

Hello. Perhaps you have new information about this vase? I managed to meet the same one made of frosted green glass, it really interested me
