Purportedly from the Estate of Paul Windorf.

Similar shape 571 featured in No. 21 of Collectors Choice Review where a comparison of gold and platinum aurene are shown.
Shown in gold aurene in American Art Glass by Schumann p.161
In Ericson, A Guide to Colored Steuben Glass 1903-1933, Book Two p. 103 the author discusses platinum as a silvery appearing tone. Very few objects were crafted displaying this type of iridescence. Those we have noted are principally from the period 1909-1913. It is distinguished by its strength of tonality in that it does not assume highlights of other colors as can be noted in Gold and Blue Aurene. The general cast is silvery with only a suggestion of blue.
Millefiori florets added to heighten the illusion of flowering vines. Revi, American Art Nouveau Glass, p.138

- STEUBEN NEW INTARSIA WARE GLASS VASEDESCRIPTION:
STEUBEN NEW INTARSIA WARE GLASS VASEDESCRIPTION: Steuben New Intarsia Ware vase, Iridized lead glass with applied leaf and vine decoration (base has appearance of vds with a gold Aurene tinge)
Shape #787
Reference:
Pictured from an early Steuben catalogue Ill. 119, p. 77 of The Glass of Frederick Carder by Paul V. Gardner. Marked as Shape #788, but factory records show it as #787. Gardner says: Another form of Intarsia, called New Intarsia Ware by Carder, consisted of Gold Aurene vase with trailed decorations on leaves and stems in green, marvered into the Aurene matrix. The employee who lettered the catalog photographs (Ills. 118, 119) probably was responsible for the spelling Intarsea. Carder’s handwritten notation by No. 786 in the pattern books is “New Intarsia Ware.” Since there are only nine numbers allotted to this group (786-794), these pieces were probably made about 1905 or l906.
A trio of New Intarsia ware is shown at Fig. 10.90, p. 237 of Frederick Carder and Steuben Glass by Thomas P. Dimitroff. In the caption the author notes: The Corning Museum of Glass, Corning, New York Identification of the piece in the center as New Intarsia was made difficult by the fact that the only other pieces of new Intarsia known are the other two in this illustration. A lack of extensive comparative material can complicate attributions. Carder used the term Intarsia to refer to several techniques. The first was in reference to these New Intarsia objects, which in terms of technique are essentially decorated Verre de Soie. He also used the term to describe inlaid-looking decorative borders applied to objects, especially lamp shades (see Fig. 6.24) Finally, he used the term to describe his more widely known layered pieces created by Johnny Jansson (see Figs. 4.80, 5.31, and 8.22). Carder adapted this term from an Italian word meaning “inlaid.”
