This silver plate and glass inset basket vase is marked Apollo E.P.N.S. Made in USA By Bernard Rice's Sons Inc. 3619. Made in US.
It is a beautiful piece of cut out silver plate. I did not polish it but buying it can be polished without loss of value. This beautiful piece does not have excessive wear but there is a small chip on the underside of the glass vase insert, the chip (see 4th photo) is not easily seen when the vase is in its silver setting.
A beautiful example of the artistry of this company as they delved into art nouveau.
The piece sits on a 2-7/8" base and rises up 6 1/4" with a cut out handle that swings up an additional 4-3/4" for a finished height of 11 1/2". The silver vase opening is 5 1/2" in diameter and 6" deep.
This is a stunning piece for displaying cut flowers or posies. I am not sure about its date but believe it is from the 1930's.
As mentioned it could use a polishing, very beautiful and interesting!
