Made by the Imperial Glass Company of Bellaire, Ohio, it is a tall example of the company's well-known Ripple pattern in purple\/amethyst Carnival Glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImperial was producing its iridescent Carnival Glass by 1910, with contemporary advertisements from that year including the \u003cb\u003eRipple pattern\u003c\/b\u003e among the company's offerings. Imperial originally referred to its purple iridescent colour as \u003cb\u003e“Azur.”\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vase is made from \u003cb\u003edeep purple\/amethyst glass\u003c\/b\u003e with an iridescent surface that shows shades of gold, bronze, magenta, blue, turquoise and green depending upon the angle and lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cb\u003eRipple pattern\u003c\/b\u003e consists of a series of raised horizontal ripples encircling the lower body and continuing upward into the long slender neck. The glass was stretched or \u003cb\u003e“swung”\u003c\/b\u003e during manufacture to produce its tall form. The upper portion opens into a deeply ruffled and flared rim, with the rippled moulding creating a wave-like effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe underside has a moulded \u003cb\u003estarburst design\u003c\/b\u003e, and the dark amethyst colour of the base glass can be clearly seen where the iridescent treatment is absent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStanding \u003cb\u003e12 1\/4 inches high\u003c\/b\u003e, this is a taller example of the Ripple vase. Imperial produced Ripple vases in a range of heights, approximately 7 to 13 inches, as the final dimensions depended partly upon how far the individual piece was swung during manufacture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight: 12 1\/4 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vase is in excellent antique condition with \u003cb\u003eno chips or cracks\u003c\/b\u003e.
