Author Topic: Huge Italian? Triple cased vase (Read 897 times)

Max · « **on:** November 21, 2005, 11:34:16 AM »

I was just putting something away in the shed, when this caught my eye. I've had it for about 2 years. It measures an enormous 16" in height, and I haven't seen one the same since. I'm thinking about selling it.

I particularly love the sliced top, showing three casings.

To my eye, it looks Italian, but I really don't know. Any ideas?

Did it sell?

I have something with what looks like the same kind of casing.
Vase
It's bright orange on the inside, white and then clear on the outside.

I first thought my vase was Italian as it has that bright orange but I think Anne E. B suggested that it might be Polish.

lol Frank, as I had a thunderous 'no answer' on the GMB, I guessed it wasn't up to much and left it in the shed...where it still is.

I'll get Peter to have a look at it next week, and caste his expert eye over it.

PS: Sorry TC, I can't help with your version.

Tigger, there are some vases here:

with the charateristics of yours, so it looks like Anne E. B's. suggestions could be spot on.

Oops, I was not trying to get my vase identified (very kind of you to try, thanks), I was merely suggesting that your vase could be Polish as it has the same casing as mine.

When I post any pictures of my glass in a topic that isn't mine I'm only trying to help the attribution of the others poster piece. Please forgive me if it looks as though I'm doing otherwise. :oops:

Oh, thanks Deltab.

Nothing to forgive old bean! :wink:

I don't thiiiink mine's Polish. It's got quite a lot of base wear...and it just doesn't feel Polish.

Did I tell you I could divine the origins of glass by 'feel' alone? :wink: :shock:
