Topic: Green vase ID needed

[adam20]

Not seen anything like this before - 7" tall with two green bands of glass of rough texture - gold band to centre and at the top scalloped gass with gold bands - to the base two bands of multi facteted glass in gold - very heavy for such a piece - base in star pattern like on crystal

Any ides on origin or maker

Thanks Adam

Oh, we used to have horrid drinking glasses like this as children....Sue will remember them too, it was only a couple of weeks ago we were discussing them!!
Sorry, I don't know the maker though. :ac1:

I can only confirm the era of the 1950s when those "sugar" bands (in pastel colours) were popular. There are at least a dozen hyacinth vases on ebay with them at the moment.

surfaces coated with frit, and technically, I think called Mathey crinkles  -  or poor man's coralene.   This greenish colour was very common.

Are those bands Matthey Crinkles?

[Paul S.]

perhaps Adam will tell us if he considers they 'feel' rough, like frit.    Matthey crinkles were certainly a common feature on water sets and hyacinth/flower vases, and the colour does look right  -  however, could be wrong.

They look like Matthey Crinkles to me. The slightly rough feel is not because of the frit, which was a very fine powder, but because the base layer (the patented Matthey bit and the bit the frit adhered to) wrinkled when heated.
