Topic: Knobbly vase

[Andy B]

Hi Folks,

Am "new to glass" but it's quite addictive ain't it  !!! I've no idea what make the vase is but am sure some of you on this board will - confidence  :hiclp:  - but it measures 10" (25.5 cm) high and was given as a present in 1969 according to inscription on the base. I'd be grateful of any help.

Many thanks,

Andy

Hi Andy,

Could you add a picture of the base please...?

[Andy B]

Hope this is OK.... and thanks for the response.

What does the inscription say??? I can only make some of the words...

[Andy B]

No makers name just personal inscription: "To Anna avd (or "and") Bob and Brian on occurance of their matrimony 6/9/1969 From Lyn".
Interesting matrimony - 3 of them!!!

Vase does have some bubbles in it - perhaps photo doesn't show that too well. It is rather heavy (2040 grammes) as well.

Thanks,

Andy

Very traditional to give glass at a wedding...I don't think it is Orrefors though...LOL...

I've never seen this shape vase before.  I wonder if someone was experimenting with moulds and made this?   :huh:

[Andy B]

Glass is a little "crude" - at least to my eyes. So maybe you are correct Max.  Hopefully not and it's rare and worth so much that I can sell it and retire   :hiclp:. But somehow I doubt it.....

Thanks all for the help - any more theories will be welcome!!!

new shape to me as well but a nice piece Andy

as it's a wedding gift, could well be a one off?
