Antique Dugan Glass Frit Golden Art Glass Rose Bowl Vase Pinched Stripe 4”

This is a Dugan fritted glass vase, likely from the early 1900s.

Explanation:

Dugan Glass Company:

This company produced decorative glass from 1905 to 1913 in Indiana, Pennsylvania.

"Fritted" Technique:

Dugan's "fritted" glass, also known as Venetian, Japanese, or Pompeian lines, involved blowing glass into a mold, then rolling it in small pieces of colored glass (frit) before shaping and finishing by hand.

This technique was used to emulate the appearance of European and American art glass of the period.

Characteristics:

Dugan fritted vases often feature mold seams, tool marks, and fire-polished rims that may be irregular. The frit creates a textured or stippled appearance, as seen in the image. The glass can also have an iridescent finish.
