Heya!

I have a similar looking one but the cutting is different. The hollow is also narrower and it has a polished pontil. I took a look through CGR 1988 at Jindrichs site but couldn't find it. Any ideas?

It certainly looks similar enough to me to be a variation on the same vase.

Astrid,

True, but then again the history of glassmaking is littered with examples of glassworks copying, such as the case with the "Börnevas" and Skrdlovice.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that my vase is triangular!

Leerdam did not produce FLW glass. The director at the time invited FLW to design a vase but more as a pretext for a luxury holiday to the US. It was a long shot. Leerdam did not have the capacity to produce the one vase he designed and that was the end of the matter. Leerdam went broke in 1938 as a result of mismanagement and too many luxury trips and it is a disgrace that the factory still maintains that FLW designed for them. For geometric panel cut vases in rare earth colours, look at Moser, look at ZBS, at Italy or look at Ilmglass - not at Leerdam.
