19th Century Murrhina Aventurine Antique Spangle Art Glass Gourd Vase, with pontil mark.

Vasa Murrhina spangle spatter glass vase in a rare double gourd form with gold aventurine.

Vasa Murrhina ware is transparent and showed imbedded pieces of colored glass and mica flakes with striking effects obtained through using opaque and transparent colored casings.

John Charles De Voy, assignor to the Vasa Murrhina Art Glass Company of Sandwich, Massachusetts, and Hartford, Connecticut, registered a patent on July 1, 1884, for a process of ornamenting glassware which consisted, essentially, in coating sheets or particles of mica with silver, gold, copper or nickel, incorporating the coated mica with a ball of glass and subjecting the same to heat to cause the glass to flow over and adhere to the mica. Between 1878 and 1882 patents for producing a type of Vasa Murrhina glassware were registered to several glass companies in England.

In very good antique condition.

Height: 21 cm
