Mt. Washington vase??
« on: June 14, 2010, 02:28:12 AM »
Hi folks,

I came across this vase on EBAY :

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180520412224

The Seller says it's made of glass but looking at the bottom it looks like pottery or ceramic (especially with the incised numbers...)

comments???  ;D

It looks like pottery to me too Blair... and I don't know how glass can have incised numbers but let's see what others think.
Cheers! Anne, da tekniqual wizzerd

I'd certainly say its pottery/ceramic not glass. Besides 75% of the eBay Mt. Washington isn't even close to Mt. Washington, Mt. Washington, Moser & Lalique lead eBay's key word spamming operatives. Ken

I agree, ceramic. A mould blown piece wouldn't have that foot either.

I think the seller is unsure as well.  The item is listed in glass AND pottery categories and the description does not say anything at all about the material.

I told the seller about this thread and I guess they updated their listing and removed references to Mt. Washington glass...
