This vase is made in light green glass sprayed allover with with a tin and iron chloride mixture which, when reheated and over green glass, produces this brilliantly lustred silvery finish known as 'helios green'. This design was very popular and was available in many sizes. This is a tall example (see 7570 for the medium version) extended by swinging after moulding and while still molten and therefore stretchable. The design appears in catalogues from about 1914 to the mid 1920s. This type of glass has been called Carnival Glass since around 1960. This design is called 'Ripple' by collectors.
