Hi I have just started collecting and was hoping there was a quick pressed glass pattern guide somewhere? stuck on this line pattern at the moment.

hello Cyril ..                unfortunately, there's nothing very quick about identifying most glass  -  it takes knowledge and experience which is acquired by spending a lot of time looking through books, catalogues and othe people's glass, usually :)
You don't say where you've looked so far, but I've tried Pamela's on line images    http://www.pressglas-pavillon.de/     under vases, but regret I can't see this pattern, hope I haven't missed it  -  you might also try    http://www.glas-musterbuch.de/

Wish you success with your collecting, and hope you won't mind if I suggest that for clear glass, dark uniform plain backgrounds are best  -  with clear glass it's impotant to see the detail - having said that, this picture is adequate to see detail.
Also a good idea to include some wording in the subject heading to give an idea of what the item is - which can be very useful for future searches should others need to locate a similar item.

Let's hope someone else will recognise your vase. :)

Paul, isn't this similar to the Jules Lang vase that features in Patricia's book (p.273) - different pattern, but a registration of 12 Jan 1937 may give you a timescale. But we have been down this route before, methinks (variation on a theme)  ;)

The Jules Lang registration of 12 January 1937 is RD 817496, and the link to a previous discussion (with a photo of the Lang vase) is at
http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,11332.msg189650.html#msg189650

Unfortunately, it's not the vase that Cyril is showing, but there lots of pressed glass vases in that waisted shape in the 1930s.

I'll have a look through my RD photo reference files to see if I can find a match.

Cyril, welcome to Glass Message Board - you'll certainly enjoy your time here!

I do not recognize this pattern immediately, sorry; and I haven't got it in my collection, so don't waste your time on pressglas-pavillon.de in this case  :)

I'd like to know whether your vase is press-blown into a mould (which I presume from your photo) or is it pressed with a plunger, in which case the inside is completely smooth?

Pamela
Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)

I did also first think of that slightly 'Blackpool Tower' looking vase on page 273 of Patricia's book - the bulb wanabee  - but as Fred says, the pattern is different, although this one does also have a sort of 1930's shape, but different enough I'm sure to be unconnected.

The moulding on this one lacks crispness, whether that's because of age of the mould or just a low quality cheap production, I'm not sure - but suspect the latter.    Glass travels, and in truth this piece could be from anywhere.

Hope Cyril doesn't get put off by our lack of ability to provide attribution - my suggestion would be to get out there and look for some more - preferably with Registration Nos.                  Spending time looking at past pressed glass posts would be useful for anyone starting to collect. :)       

P.S.     In view of the shape of this vase, I would have suggested unlikely to be pressed using a plunger, and more probably the first of Pamela's suggested methods.

Yes, I agree, definitely not with a plunger with that slightly waisted body.

Oh and welcome to the GMB Cyril  :)
