American Crystal Art Glass Verlys Vase with Chinese Mandarin Design

About the Item

Beautiful crystal art glass vase made by Verlys of America. Known as the “Mandarin” vase this molded glass vase depicts a sword baring robed Chinese man or Samurai holding a parasol and likely a lotus or sunflower. Also depicted are other flowers and what appears to be a Bird of Paradise perched in a peach tree. This thick, heavy piece has a clear ground with the decoration and designs appearing in high relief, accentuated by acid etching (creating a satin or frosted appearance in the manner of Rene Lalique). This vase was of the Chinoiserie Series from the 1940's. This vase has the underlined pen etched “Verlys” in cursive on the underside as you would find on Verlys of America pieces. French Verlys pieces would have the word “France” in some form as well. Verlys began operation in France in 1931 as a subsidiary of the “Societe Anonyme Holophane Les Andelys”. In 1935, Verlys of America was founded in Ohio as a subsidiary of the Holophane Lighting Company. The pattern for this vase was designed by Ted Mehrer and was produced between 1939-1951.
