A beautiful and decorative hand blown and polished Art Deco crystal Amethyst glass vase with lovely gilt metal decorative band.   

It is unsigned but was made by the German glass company: August Walther & Sohne.  The vase is certainly a most attractive one and would probably have original had a paper label instead of an etched signature.  It probably dates to around the late 1930s. 

Walther & Sohne was originally established in the 1880s by August Walther. They are best known for their superb range of Art Deco stylized glass figurines, bowls and angular vases.    

The pattern on the gilt frieze is called the Grape Washer and this was first produced in 1933. It shows figures dancing about with gay abandon in a vineyard. A little figure is playing a long pan pipe - and created the music for the dancers who are harvesting the grapes and preparing to stamp on them to extract the juices.  

This attractive amethyst coloured vase is similar to glass vases made by Moser in Czechoslovakia (please see my Moser lidded bowl also listed on my website).

The tall vase is a fine piece of vintage German glass. It is in good condition with no chips or cracks. The gold gilding is nice and shiny - and it looks just fabulous on display. I love the rich dark purple colour of the glass and all the ribbon facets rising around the main body section. 

Dimensions: It is 6 3/8 inches in height. The diameter of the rim just under 5 inches. The base has a diameter of 3 inches. 

Unpacked the vase is 825 grams.

I would have to send to you with Royal Mail Special Next Day Delivery so that it is fully insured in transit. This will be just over £10 and applied to your order at the checkout.
