Topic: Art Deco Lalique style amber glass midens vase-pouring water from urns

[oyemicanto]

I have had this vase a while and wondered if anyone could shed some light on it?

My first incling would be Czech, but we need Marcus and Pamela i think.

I thought Czech,it is similar in style to the Lalique Danaides vase with the ladies pouring water,and the handles are similar to another Lalique piece but cant put my finger on it!

It's fabulous. my hunch is Moser

[Mosquito]

Handles are similar to Lalique's 'Gao' Cendrier. My vote is also for Czech but definitely not Moser. The vase has some stylistic similarities - including the use of a moulded pattern to imitate an acid cut back surface - with this two handled vase, also unidentified: http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-2847

I have tried for the last 2 years with no success as I have the same vase in dark green, although I also tend to think most likely Czech

Ooooh, that is nice!  I love the optics on the round bits; the lack of distortion (other than from the curvature of the glass) is quite remarkable, they must have been polished.  The detail on the figure is also impressive.  High quality piece!  Czech sounds good to me.

Oyemicanto, would you mind posting a larger/closer photo of the figure?  It's probably my imagination, but the two vases seem very slightly different.  Even if they are, it's probably just a matter of different dates of manufacture; the mold could have been retooled between them.

Actually, the vases look like they're different shapes, unless I'm seeing an artifact of the way the photo of the green was is taken (when I take pictures really close I get a slight fisheye effect).  Roy and Oyemicanto, could you please post dimensions, including height, width across the top (with and without the flanges), and width of the bottom?

The front of the green one almost looks like it was facet cut.  Is the figure depressed ("intaglio"), or in relief?
