Topic: glass question - what type is this?

[mgamble]

Hi there. Michael with g+g architects in Atlanta. The attached is of a piece that just came into the office. Any ideas from your side as to it's origin or maker?

Hi Michael and welcome to the board. Is this a vase or a lamp? It's hard to tell from the pic. If it's a lamp then can we see the fitting as well please.

It's what's called cage blown... a technique used for lanterns and lamps as well as other decorative pieces. Yours is very art deco in style - more pics would be welcome. 

A topic about cage blown lanterns is here:

It would be nice if it were Daum  Majorelle 
here is one example,

Your item certainly has quality, daum are usually signed, have you checked all over?

A search on Google for Daum Majorelle shows many fine examples.

It could be fairly new but need to see detailed pics from all angles.

Im wondering whether i can see rust on the foot ? Or texture?

Could we have some dimensions please?  And can I raise one name, even if I'm going to be shot down in flames, that of the great Frederic Carder?  This looks awfully like some of the stuff he was making in the 30s...
