This elegant trumpet-shaped vase is crafted from vibrant emerald green glass, featuring an elongated neck that tapers into a bulbous base and rests on a circular, silver-clad foot. The piece is ornately decorated with silver overlay, a technique popularized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by companies such as Alvin or Rockwell. The upper portion displays delicate, scrolling "vermicelli" or vine-like filigree, while the bulbous base features a detailed, etched scenic landscape depicting a waterfront with a bridge and buildings, possibly a European vista. Historically, silver overlay was achieved through electroplating pure silver onto a glass or porcelain surface, which was then engraved by hand. The condition of the item appears to be very good for its age; the glass retains a rich, translucent color without visible cracks, and the silver overlay is largely intact, though it shows a natural aged patina and minor tarnishing consistent with silver of this period. Dimensions: 25.5cm (h)
