    This small vase has a lot going on. A satin finish with a colour fade effect and five frosted leafy feet. Not to mention the most crimped of crimped rims I've ever seen.
    Height 13 cm./5 inches

      Mother of Pearl -aka- MOP air trap, satin glass was first made in the 1850s in England and in Massachusetts. It was a special type of mold-blown satin glass with air bubbles in the glass, giving it a pearlized color. Exposure to acid vapor gave the piece its satin finish. It has been reproduced. Mother-of-pearl shell objects are listed under Pearl.

      More info about original Victorian pieces and modern versions made at Murano, Italy in the 1970s.

      Forgot to add; Your vase looks like is may have been made at one of the Stourbridge, England glassworks given the applied satin glass feet. None of the modern Italian versions of this type of glass are done like that, plus the busy tight crimping rims are common on English Art Glass.
