Topic: Milk glass bark vase - probably Oberglass

[Galle]

Did GB do a milk glass version of the tree bark vase? :huh:

[Pip]

No he didn't - at least I've never seen or heard of one.  I did once have a white Ingrid glass type bark vase though.

If its the vase that has been on ebay a sort of milky blue its not W/Fs.

[Galle]

Not the one on eBay - someone on the eBay PGP discussion boards was tying to ID one in milk white. Consensus already is that it is not WF -now the mystery is, who made it?

Here are pics of the piece in question (photos used with permission of the owner):

I reckon it's probably German or Austrian (I'm still thinking possibly Ingridglas).

[Ivo]

the Ingrid ones are solid milk glass, this one has been watered down, both in design, in quality and in colour - so we're probably looking at Oberglas Austria.

Thanks, Ivo... we had already told her it wasn't Whitefriars - she will be grateful to have an idea of what it actually is.
