Antique Sterling Silver Crest Decorated Bronze Vase #2041

Is this a rare piece? Looking for expert opinion. I found the below on the internet which is very interesting. I would like other’s thoughts on this piece.

Circa 1920’s, great condition and patina. 6” tall x 2” diameter top x 2.4” diameter bottom. Art Deco style.

The hallmark Silver Crest is the trademark of the Smith Metal Arts Company, founded in 1919 by Frederick C. Smith. Their wares utilized a process patented by the Heintz Art Metal Shop, founded by Otto L. Heintz in 1906 in Buffalo, New York. Heinz Art Metal patented a process of applying finely cut sterling silver ornamentation to bronze and copper without solder. Their objects were distinguished by a variety of patinas, usually brown or green, and smooth, machine-shaped bases which were different from the hammered look of most Arts and Crafts metal works. Despite the death of founder Otto Heinz in 1918 at the age of 41, the company continued until 1930, when the Depression forced its closing. However, in 1919, the chief salesman, Frederick C. Smith and others left Heintz Art Metal to form their own similar company, called the Smith Metal Arts Company. Smith initially used many of the same forms and overlays; but did not replicate the patinas. The company flourished as they expanded into the high-end office furniture and accessories market. Tiffany subcontracted with Silver Crest and made “rare and exceptional” pieces, such as vases, desk sets, trophies, etc. In 1986, Smith bought the McDonald Products Company, a former rival. The company continues today as the Smith McDonald Corporation.
