It features Fenton's unique"mosaic inlaid" pattern with iridescent threading and a polished pontil. The vase has an allover iridescent sheen.

Can be found in Fenton Art Glass by Whitmyer. REASERCH SHOWS THE MARKET VALUE. /news/fenton_ANTIQUE101905.htm Not all of Fenton's experiments met with iridescent glassware. In 1925, Fenton introduced a Tiffany style art glass, hiring a group of highly skilled European glassblowers to produce off hand art glass, which were blown to a general shape without the use of molds. Although vases were the prevalent form, candlesticks, candy dishes, bowls and tobacco jars were also produced. Patterns included Hanging Hearts, Hanging Vine, Mosaic Inlaid, and Pulled Feather. Unfortunately, the increased cost of production translated to retail prices which were too expensive for the times. At the end of a one-year contract with the glassblowers, Fenton discontinued their experiment with off hand art glass, offering unsold pieces to employees for 50 cents an item. Extremely rare, and very attractive, today Fenton's off hand art glass is much in demand. At a recent Skinner auction, an 8-1/2 inch Mosaic Inlaid Egyptian style vase sold for more than $1,998; a smaller, five-inch Mosaic Inlaid vase realized $1,093. For collectors on a more limited budget, Fenton has released a special (2005) edition Myriad Mosaic Vase for $385. Based on the original mold shape and style, this retro design is achieved by a Fenton artisan covering black glass with opaque glass chips.
