Four Seventy Four is one of Imperial’s most endearing patterns, combining a typical cut-style pattern with an almost realistic daisy. In addition to water sets and punch sets, it is also found in vases (pictured above on the right). The pattern was not made in bowls or plates. The name comes from the numerical designation in Imperial catalogs. Note that the water set and compotes have been reproduced.
Vases are very rare in Four Seventy Four. There are three different sizes; 8-inch, 10-inch and 12 1/2-inch. The green 12 1/2 inch example is probably the only one in this color. Some people feel this is the best piece of Imperial glass ever made.
Bear in mind that vases are also found in contemporary glass, but in a different shape.
