Manufacturer: Bird Gro-Rite, East Walpole, Massachusetts
This 7 1/2 inch tall flared vase is made of what is probably catalin as the colors in the vase swirl like those on a catalin radio. The top of this very lightweight vase features a very characteristic Art Deco motif, that of the three speed lines, three horizontal bands which circle the vase. The lines of this vase remind me of the similar sized and shape vases by Chase Chrome of Waterbury, Conn. and the Revere Company of Rome, NY. I would place its manufacture in Art Deco period of 1925-1940 when all sorts of consumer goods and household articles were designed by industrial designers for the popular trade. The bottom is marked Bird Gro-Rite, E. Walpole, MASS and has what is most likely a shape number, NO. 210. I tried to research this company and came up with no information.
The colors are a rich green, gray and some black. A very stylish piece in excellent condition. Add it to your Art Deco collection. It would also look stunning on an Art Deco or even Midcentury modern Scandanavian furniture piece.
