Featured How would you research/describe this lrg Urn Vase?

I am having trouble finding comps. My search terms are not getting me anywhere, google lens nothing. I tried etched urn vase, crater vase, silverplate & crystal vase, Hawkes... Pairpoint..etched. Maybe French? Plus I am having trouble photoing it, uploaded my best ones. Approx 13" high x 9" across the top. Thanks for looking!

 

does that fit snug...... or is it a marriage ?

 

Fits snug, pulled hard to separate.

 

Without the background, less distracting.....whose ever it is, it's Beautiful!!!
But I also saw no comps....possibly one of the members can help......

​

 

nice job Aqui..!

 

Aquitaine: Thanks for the photo tweek. I took photos on a solid white, blue and black and the engraving didn't look good.

 

That looks wheel cut to me, not etched. Nice piece.

 

Yes, I agree wheel cut.

 

WoW! The photo went from meh to luscious. What software do you use? Photoshop?

 

@TallCakes to the rescue ?
PS-Knockout IMHO.

 

No marks?

 

Candle holder? I would not think vase, I can't imagine it's water tight, JMHO.

 

No silver marks. Bottom covered with felt, maybe there. Looks like silverplate. Totally water tight. Thick glass, see bottom in photo with blue background. Ground pontil. Candle holder or vase either one it is a very large centerpiece.

 

Ahhh, I see it now

 

Beautiful piece of glass. Maybe a a square on photo of the pattern would help with Google lens ID..other than that I don't know.

 

Yes, @ola402, at least MOSTLY Photoshop, but it's also an OLD version, so on occasion I also use TOPAZ Photo AI, or TOPAZ GIGAPIXEL.......but there's also getting to be SO many photo fix programs out there now, and they're ALL starting to include 'AI', which can be helpful!!! I'm a bit shy of upgrading to the new Photoshop, as I think the learning curve might be hard for me, at my stage of the game!!!! Plus, Photoshop is a monthly subscription....and for me, a bit pricey!!!! I'm NO pro, just love to 'play with it' over the years!!!

 

you've proven it's worth here.........!!!

 

I purchased Photoshop several years back but was confounded by it. My iMAC came with a very easy to use (but not as feature rich) photo editor called iPhoto so I used that for all my ebay listings. However, I found clear glass to be the most difficult to achieve good results with and your photo is just excellent. Once in a while, I would get a great clear glass photo by dumb luck and my selling price was always much higher. I should have spent more time with Photoshop.

 

I find black card or paper behind clear glass brings out the contrast well. Cyan is completely rubbish and makes it kind of vanish. I've not tried any other colours yet.

 

Red is a good color behind clear glass for some reason, but I prefer black for elegant glass, it looks classier. I tried red behind some solid glass figurines and it worked very well.
