A fluted art & craft vase designed by Otto Heintz. This is a very decorative art & craft vase created during the art nouveau period by Otto Heintz. Crafted in America in solid polished brass and embellished with an orchid cut-off from a template made of .925/.999 solid sterling silver. Simple vase with great eye appeal and beautifully made with a very nice synthesis of an orchid. Otto Heintz Otto L. Heintz was born into a family of manufacturing jewelers established in 1875 in Buffalo, NY. By about 1902 he had purchased a small company, renamed it the Art Crafts Shop, and began design and manufacture of copper items with colored enamel decoration. He was granted three patents. By 1906 he changed the name to Heintz Art Metal Shop, and shifted to bronze as the base material and sterling silver as ornamentation. The Art Crafts Shop’s hammered “look” was replaced by a series of machine-shaped bodies with sophisticated patinas. The definitive patents for applying sterling silver to bronze without solder was granted August 27, 1912. Heintz line consisted of vases and bowls, candlesticks, smoking accessories, trophies, lamps, desk accessories, picture frames, bookends, and jewelry. From a circa 1916 trade catalog: “Heintz wares have won an enviable reputation among buyers of art goods, because of originality and beauty of design, and unusual quality of attractiveness. Country: New York, United States. Period: Art & Crafts, art nouveau, 1890-1900 Materials: Polished bronze and sterling silver. Weight: 475 Grams, (0.48 Kg.).
