Description:
This is a tall cobalt blue glass tumbler, likely produced during the Art Deco period (1920s-1940s) in the United States. The glass features a silver or platinum band with intricate scrolling foliage and floral motif applied near the rim, a common decorative device of this era. The cobalt blue coloring is opaque and vibrant, which became popular in household glassware during the early-to-mid 20th century.

Assessment:
This is a classic example of American Art Deco period cobalt blue glassware. The presence of decorative silver overlay adds to its decorative appeal, although this type of glass is often collected more for its color than rarity. Value is moderate, and sets can command more if in excellent condition.

Condition:
Very Good (minor wear, decorative overlay appears mostly intact; not officially graded)
Identification Score: 90%
The color, overlay style, and shape are all strongly indicative of American Art Deco glassware from the early 20th century, possibly produced by well-known factories such as Hazel-Atlas. The design is somewhat generic, which is common for utilitarian glass of this period, hence a small deduction.
Authenticity Score: 85%
The patterns and material quality are consistent with vintage (not modern reproduction) cobalt blue glassware, though lack of base wear and absence of detailed maker’s marks in the provided image prevent awarding a higher score. However, nothing suggests it is a modern imitation.
