Welcome.
This is a circa 1930's LE Smith Black Amethyst Glass two-handled vase. The near blackness of the glass makes it very difficult to photograph, but the photos manage to capture most of the artful detail. The video below also adds to the overall description.
The glass is very very dark. In one photo I placed LED lights in it at full brightness to show how dark this amethyst actually is.
The is no mark on this vase, but the style is definitely that of LE smith, circa 1930's. The image of the two maidens freely dancing among a rose motif brings to mind scenes from Shakespeare's play "A midsummer Nights Dream". The romanticized image is beautifully accompanied by the lovely wavy lip and the two opposite handles. The base is square and solid. I have found no flaws or scratches in this and have looked it over carefully for any damage. Though this vase is vintage, it shows nearly no hint of use or display. Even the bottom shows next to no rubbing from years of being slid across a shelf or table.
The vase is 7 inches high and 6 inches from handle to handle.
