    To get this color combination, gold decoration is placed on the plum layer. With the precise application of heat, the blue colorant in the plum layer bleeds into the gold layer producing the peacock hue. On the paper label, the number 1521 is written in the No. space and the word "Special" in the Dec. space. This shape becomes No. 1730 in Durand glass, and the designation "Special" continues to be used for the Dec. in Durand (see Revi, "AMERICAN ART NOUVEAU GLASS, page 206). Might this be because of the "Special" skill and technique required? The dark ring around the body is just a lighting artifact in the photo. (1987)

      Beautiful vase in amazing condition and that label is a real bonus!

      This is Quezal / Durand Coil decoration..... not to be confused with King Tut. Without the label it could be Quezal or Durand.

      Wow! Coil decoration it is, and great colors. This one is truly "special".

      A nice Quezal Art Glass with the paper label...most are long gone.
      Your example was produced between 1921...1924.
