Hoping to identify this vase.... Black glass with silver overlay....

Showing a beautiful dark black heavy glass vase with ornate silver overlay of flowers, bows & swags. Vase is about 7 3/4" tall; 3" across at mouth; 4" across the foot. There appear to be no identifying marks anywhere on the piece - on bottom of base or on the silver. There are no chips or breaks - perfect condition - there is some scratching on bottom of base from shelf use. There are a few small marks in the glass on one side but appear to have probably been made during manufacture. I am curious as to whether this vase could actually be a piece of ROCKWELL Silver Overlay Art Glass from the 1920's/30's? There are a few similar pieces on auction on ebay at the moment and looking at them I started to wonder about this piece. Rockwell apparently had a "shield-like" logo that was etched on the bottom of some pieces - do not see anything like that on this vase. Also the "indented" foot appears to "rise" inside the vase creating a "hump" in the bottom of the piece.... Should also note that I do not know if this vase would be classified as "black amethyst" glass because I put a very bright small flashlight inside the vase and you could not see any glow from inside through the glass - appears to be very thick, dense BLACK!!! Hoping it can actually be identified, whether by shape, size, the silver pattern, or otherwise..... I realize that Rockwell (or some other company) may have only did the actual silver overlay - the glass vase may have been made by anyone....

I just bought this vase through a local on line auction. It was listed as a black ceramic vase with silver overlay and they said it was 10” tall. From the photos that were shown on the auction site, I was pretty sure it was glass NOT ceramic because of the way the light shone off it. And I was right. With BP & tax, I paid $13.67CA for it!!! It would be great to have it identified.... & maybe find out an estimation of what it might actually be worth???

 

Could be LE Smith.

 

Tiffin did some things like this in the 1920. Then there is Silver City

 

definitely looks like a USG/Tiffin #15151 Dahlia vase. and as stated elsewhere the silver looks like a slightly simplified version of Fostoria's June etch.

 

THANKS!!! I just googled it - I think that is correct - the shape is correct and apparently it was created in several sizes.... and there was a silver overlay vase that came up which said the silver was probably done by Rockwell so possibly the silver on this one was also done by Rockwell.

 

I just found this listing from Kovel's and wonder what my vase might be worth?? It's not black satin and not quite as large but.... and that pricing was 11 years ago.
