pale icy blue, five sided vase with cut and polished base
« on: October 31, 2009, 10:13:18 PM »
Greetings oh knowledgeable ones- just picked up this vase- sold as murano but having it in front of me I feel more scandinavian or whitefriars????? 26.5 cm high, pale icy blue, five sided vase with cut and polished base, slightly concave, the lip is cut, polished and slightly bevelled inside and out. Please view the pictures and advise if I am on the right track or not.regards Carol

No, it just means nobody who looked at the time had a clue. I think the ground rim rules out Whitefriars. Is the base matte or shiny.

My first thought on seeing it was WF Arctic Blue.  Which probably means it's either Scandi or Caithness!  :spls: ::)

Greetings all, base is polished with moderate wear, weight wise is not as heavy as it appears. regards Carol

Hi Carol, you might find that having a more useful/descriptive subject line will attract more replies. Some members look down for something that catches their eye in their area of  interest, so topics with non-descriptive subjects might not get looked at the same. See the Help topic about subject lines here:
http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,17458.0.html

I've amended a couple of yours to something more descriptive for you.
Cheers! Anne, da tekniqual wizzerd
