VERY RARE ANTIQUE GERMAN ZEPPELIN COMPANY DURALUMIN ALLOY METAL VASE 1920’S. Duralumin is a metal alloy that is a combination of aluminum, copper, magnesium and manganese. At the turn on the century this material was used to manufacture Airships, (Zeppelins) by a factory in Germany. In 1920, the Treaty of Versailles forbade the manufacture and operation of zeppelins in Germany. The Zeppelin company began producing a line of metalware using the same material they previously used to manufacture Zeppelins. The company produced these small items until the Treaty of Versailles was withdrawn in 1925 and they could go back to manufacturing Airships. This vase was made in Germany sometime between 1920 and 1925 of duralumin by the Zeppelin factory. It has a very shiny finish, and is signed on the bottom by their Zeppelin logo and the word Zeppel. This vase has some wear. There are some scratches and a few rough spots as you can see in the pictures. However, I have to apologize for the reflections in the vase. It is very shiny overall and there are no strange dark areas. This vase is 8-1/2 tall. The mouth is 3-3/4″ across and the base measures 3-1/2″ across. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like more photos.
