Imperial Glass Company - Vase (2) - Carnival glass - set

Offered is a beautiful set of two antique carnival glass vases, produced by the famous American glass factory Imperial Glass Company in the early 20th century (circa 1910–1920). The vases are finished in the highly cherished warm color 'Marigold' (golden/orange) and feature the characteristic iridescent pearlescent glaze that makes carnival glass so special. The pattern is the classic 'Beaded Bullseye': vertical ribs with prominent oval cutouts (bullseyes), elegantly surrounded by small, raised glass beads. Additionally, these are the so-called 'swung vases' (zwaaivazen). Through the centrifugal technique used by the glassblower, the vases have an elegant, elongated neck with a unique, organically undulating collar. The solid pressed base is finished on the underside with a classic star motif.
