Cobalt vase with beaded vertical lines. Height is 7". Marked on base "USA 2".
The original mould for this vase was made by Imperial Glass and sold as #86 probably in the 1960s. Lancaster-Colony--Indiana Glass Co. acquired many Imperial moulds with the purchase of Imperial. Other moulds were passed from company to company over time.
USA 2 is not a known Imperial mark. Some collectors have stated that it is an Indiana mark and that this vase was made by Indiana. However, Craig Schenning is unaware of Indiana ever using this mark, and this vase is not listed in any Indiana catalogs. Thus the Indiana attribution is suspect.
