Topic: Optic rib with swan cut - elegant depression?

[Cathy B]

I think this one may be American. Optic rib with a swan cut. To pull a few names out of the air, Heissey or Tiffin? It bears a vague likeness to the Imperial mallard cut (which appears on their candlewick pattern), especially in the reeds, but what does that mean?

Thanks very much!

could be Stromberg

Johansfors maybe?

Cathy - It does somewhat resemble Tiffin Swedish Optic pieces but the top edge finish is not correct.  All the Tiffin Swedish Optic pieces I have owned had a cut and polished rim.

Like the Tiffin Copen Blue Swedish Optic Rose bowl I have on my website right now

Thanks Connie, Glasshound and Ray!

Connie - I guess it's not  :shock: a rare, experimental Steuben?!  Sorry, just a joke.

Take care,
Cathy

Just bumping another very old topic. I still have this vase. Just wondered whether anyone might be able to help?

You might be better asking on www.chataboutdg.com Some of them come here but some not very often

Doesn't appear to be either Tiffin or Heisey. Looks a bit like a generic Swedish piece.
