In 1888 the A. J. Beatty And Sons Glass Works moved to Tiffin, Ohio to start producing glass. This company through numerous ownerships, creating many styles and surviving major events finally closed for good in 1980. Throughout their history they were primarily known as the US glass company but the collectors usually refer their pieces as Tiffin glass. One such type of glass produced from the mid-1920s until about 1940 was their satin line. 

This line came in assorted colors, a popular color being black satin. I have been informed that the company produced lamp bases in this type of glass.  I believe this example was such a base, however, it was never drilled to be used for a lamp. Companies of this era would sometimes produce these lampshade/lamp base vases as a whimsical examples of their work.  I believe these bases are quite scarce in the market as I have never seen an example in any color. The vase stands 9 3/8” tall with the top measuring 4 1/8” across, 4 3/4” corner to corner. Each of the four main panels has an attractive dancing nude figure all in identical pose. This vase is in factory original condition with no damages or repairs noted. The inside is clean showing no residue or staining from use. I will mention and a pictured a minute factory flaw at one of the corners on the inside top rim, a minute heat check from manufacturing. It causes no issue or cracking to the vase, mentioned for accuracy.  A wonderful and quite scarce example from the Art Deco period.  Please view all pictures as they are considered part of the description. 

Please check back to my listings often as I will be posting numerous find examples of glass, pottery and porcelain in the near future. 

Thank you.
