Hello
Do you like my Whitefriars vase? Just kidding.
As you can see, it has a "Foreign" sticker on the base but, as most of my glass is from overseas, it would be great to have a better idea of exactly where this vase was made.
It stands just under 7" tall.
Thanks in advance,
Stuart.

Substantial, really nice quality. Has a tipping point of one third it's entire length from the base, so the base is suitably heavy for practical purposes as a flower holder. I have seen a green one today, in a local antiques and colectables shop, for £38! Crazy! I really hope someone here can place this one because - although I am a seller/collector - I am really fascinated. I have looked through so many textured vases, my eyes are going textured!  Stu. |

Was it labeled though???...LOL...i think i would rather pay 38 quid for your piece with the label (even in aussie dollars)...merely for the label/research value...i have never seen one in that colour though...it really is nice...next time i stumble upon one...i will ensure i get closer inspection... Thank you tinker... |

100% Not Davidson Luna. Davidson Luna vases are uncased. Actual example of Luna pieces can be seen on Chris & Val Stewart's excellent site here: http://www.cloudglass.com/Gallerypostwar.htm |

Your vase may be related to this one; similar texture but hexagonal rather than square. Label reads 'Best Art Glass, Foreign'. I've had this for years but have never been able to find out who made it....

Hi Andy, No need to get your coat!  I've seen these attributed to Davidson many many times - I guess there was a misattribution in a book or website sometime and the myth has persisted.... |

Andy - love the 'get my coat' line. Believe me, a wrong guess is fabulous. It's only by people being interested enough to have a go that keeps the ideas flowing IMHO. I always think a guess should be stated matter-of-factly too - just for sheer comedy value! Steven - of course it's related to yours - spot on - the rims could not be any more the same (perhaps the vase's worst feature? I think so). Many kind thanks to you both! Stu. |
