A showstopping piece of mid-century American ceramic art, this elegant vase dates to the 1940s–1950s and is stamped on the base "Guaranteed 22K Gold / USA" — a hallmark used by American pottery manufacturers of this era to certify genuine 22-karat gold lustre decoration. The interior of the base is glazed in the same rich crimson and bears an impressed mold number.
The form is bold and architectural: a wide, low-shouldered bulbous body rises to a slender elongated neck with a trumpet-flared rim. Twin dramatic sculpted handles — fully gilded in lustrous 22K gold — arc gracefully from the shoulder to mid-neck, their swept, blade-like profile giving the piece a distinctly Art Nouveau / Hollywood Regency character. The entire surface of the deep crimson/burgundy body is covered in a dense gold chintz pattern of trailing chrysanthemum vines and floral sprays — an all-over technique that creates a sumptuous, jewel-like richness.
