About the Item

Lovely Art Deco chrome bud vase designed by Ruth and William Gerth and manufactured in the 1930's by Chase. Classic Art Deco design with tubes of various heights and a stepped base. Stamped with manufacturers name and logo. From the Cooper Hewitt Museum: Henry Sabin Chase founded the Chase Brass & Copper Co. of Waterbury Connecticut in 1876. Ruth Gerth became an important part of the company’s identity, planning its offices, gift shop, and showroom displays for its Manhattan office at Chase Tower, now the Mercantile Building. “Gerth grew up in Illinois and studied at the Art Institute of Chicago. From the age of seventeen she had a passion for industrial design and she ultimately became the first woman president of the Artists Guild, an organization devoted to the rights of freelance artists. Her most prominent client was the Chase Brass and Copper Company, based in Waterbury, Connecticut. Until the 1930s, Chase primarily produced copper and brass fittings for industrial clients; it entered the consumer market with designs by a number of modernist designers such as Russel Wright, Rockwell Kent, and Walter von Nessen. Along with these luminaries, Gerth helped situate Chase as one of the preeminent producers of American art deco metal objects, many of which were crafted from recycled plumbing materials also produced by the firm.
