VINTAGE PHOENIX / CONSOLIDATED ART GLASS BROWN SEPIA LA FLEUR VASE REUBEN HALEY

Description

Vintage Art Glass La Fleur Vase
Description and Item Information
Up for sale is this Phoenix / Consolidated art glass vase. Please excuse the glare in the photos. This vase has textured floral and foliage patterns. The glass has a brownish coloration applied to the surface; one might call this color sepia. The vase is approximately 10 1/8 inches tall and 7 7/8 inches wide. It is heavy, weighing 6 pounds 6.7 ounces, unpacked. The top rim is factory ground and polished. This would be a fine addition to a collection of vintage American art glass.
Identification
This unsigned, vintage vase is an example of glass by Phoenix or Consolidated. This shape was designed by Reuben Haley after he saw Lalique vases on display in 1925. The pattern is known as La Fleur. I am not an expert, but this piece looks more like the Phoenix Reuben Line than the Consolidated Martele line to me; the buyer should decide for themselves which is the proper identification.
Condition
The vase displays well overall. It has with minor wear. To the exterior, I found a few very small rough spots and flakes. Associated with one of these is a 2 inch long fracture (with some sliver chips along it) on the outside only (please see Photo 5); it does not go through to the interior. The colored finish is in good condition overall, with light wear; there are some areas which have a "powdery" appearance of an unknown nature. There are wear scratches and scuffs to the base, as expected for vintage glass. The interior is unstained. Variations in the color application are as made.
There are a few very small factory grinding fleabites to the ground and polished upper rim.
There are what look to be a few small, thin sheets of glass fused to the interior bottom, as made. Please review the photos, and ask any necessary questions prior to bidding or buying.
