Green Cut Glass Stylised leaf design - ID help requested
« on: November 22, 2008, 07:35:03 PM »
I fell in love with this little vase (I think it is a vase..) on my first visit to Swinderby/Newark a few weeks ago - now that's a dangerous place to visit for a novice glass collector.  I wondered if anyone on the board could tell me anything about it.  It is 4.5" high and 2.75" in diameter (11.5 cm x 7 cm), straight sided with a large ground pontil, with this lovely stylised leaf and stem design.  Its rim is slightly odd, it's thinner than the sides and is polished,  but with a tiny matt inside edge that varies in thickness, as if it has been cut down from something taller (sorry I don't yet have a photo of the rim).

Do you think the matt insidey bit might have been to accomodate a lid of some sort, rather than it having been cut down?

It's rather attractive. :thup:

I hadn't thought of that since the matt bit is so narrow and uneven - I've managed to photograph it a bit better so you can see what I mean. If it had been lidded, what could it have been used for, I wonder?
And yes I think it's attractive too - well worth £3 of anyone's money.

Doesn't really look as if it's for a lid after all. Perhaps it's original, or perhaps it got a bit chipped on the inside from things leaning on it, and they've been ground out?
It doesn't look out of proportion and cut down to me, but I haven't a clue what it is, so  :huh:

I imagine somebody else will know where it comes from.

It may be just that it was finished in a hurry or less than expertly. My speculative guess would be one of the smaller Czech factories.

I'd agree with you wholeheartedly on it's geographical origins. Perhaps Marcus would be the best to comment.
