RARE Antique EAPG Imperial Glass \"Scroll & Flower Panels\" (Pattern #480 / Shell) For Sale

Title: RARE Antique EAPG Imperial Glass \"Scroll & Flower Panels\" (Pattern #480 / Shell) 9.75-Inch Milk Glass Vase – Authentic 1910–1920 Original Strike with Molded Starburst Base – Pristine ConditionItem Overview:
Up for sale is an exceptionally rare, museum-quality piece of American glass history: an original Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) 10-inch milk glass vase produced by the Imperial Glass Company between 1910 and 1920.This vase features Imperial\'s highly coveted \"Scroll & Flower Panels\" pattern (historically documented as Pattern No. 480, also known to collectors as \"Shell\"). While this pattern mold is widely known in early carnival glass lines, original production runs in true, heavy opaque white milk glass are exceptionally scarce and highly sought after by advanced pattern glass purists.True EAPG Diagnostic Features:

• Authentic Starburst Base: The bottom features the distinct, crisp molded sunburst/starburst pattern design integrated directly into the glass mold. This structural element was unique to the original early 1900s production run and completely absent on later mid-century reissues (which featured the \"IG\" stamp or smooth bases).
• Hand-Crimped Ruffled Mouth: Features a spectacular, wide flared and ruffled rim. Because these ripples were hand-shaped using traditional iron tools immediately after being pressed into the mold, the rim design is entirely unique.
• Exceptional Scale & Weight: Standing at a commanding 9.75inches tall, this is the largest and most visually impressive size variant of this historic mold. It is incredibly heavy and dense, built with the thick, substantial glass formulas typical of turn-of-the-century American manufacturing.
