Rare Early Loetz Shell Circa 1897

Very rare early opalescent and iridescent Loetz shell vase on what appears to be marble stand. From my research this was produced in 1897 and is called zephir chine technique. Glass shell and metal are in perfect condition. Some minor, 2 or 3 very small chips to edge of base where it meets the table, as pictured. Engraved old style numbers to the bottom of the marble as pictured. Measures approximately 6 1/2 inches tall. Please see my other vintage art glass I have listed. If you like the piece make me an offer unless someone else buys it now first. This item is in the category “Pottery & Glass\Decorative Pottery & Glassware\Figurines”.
