Topic: Is this a gulvvase?

[fabuleuse]

Hi all

I wonder if anyone here can help identify this item - it's of a very similar style and shape to all the gulvvases I've seen, but despite searching the www and all my reference books, I can't find any info out about it - there's only mine and one other I have found with handles!

It's 32cm tall, and very heavy, and there's a pontil mark on the base.

Thanks in advance - any info appreciated!

Mod: spelling of gulvvase corrected to aid search process

I believe its a decanter and should have a globe stopper , its in several books but i have forgotten who made them .

It's not a gulvvase. It looks the sort of thing that could have been produced in Italy or Poland (Krosno)

Ooh, you guys are quick!

Thanks for your replies - I remember seeing an indentical one for sale on a website some time ago, and typically for me I can't remember where.  It was shown on the website as a gul vase, which is why I took that as my starting point.

It would make sense as a decanter, although if it is one it's a shame I don't have the stopper.  Anyone want to hazard a guess as to who the maker might be, please?

Thanks again,

Lulu  

ETA: duh, just realised you gave me a couple of hints Christine - off to check up!

hello Lulu  -  despite jp's comments - and he's way out ahead of me in knowledge - I wasn't aware that this one had been nailed down........but I'm often wrong.    We've had these up before, I seem to remember and - not that it will help immediately - but some of the comments in this link where I posted my amber example may be of interest.   http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,33108.msg179353.html#msg179353      Contrary to my original thoughts, there should be a stopper, I seem to remember.

Nuutajarvi or Holmegaard seem to lie dormant in my little piece of brain  .

I see these at every flea market I go to and have never seen one with a stopper.

I have and it was in answer to a question either in a book or on a forum many years back , after a guy told Ray Annenberg and myself one was Whitefriars  of course we knew it wasnt but we did ask around and  someone came up with the answer perhaps Ray will remember his memory is a lot better than mine . I have seen them a couple of times since with stoppers and many times without . Honest would i kid you ?NAHHH :cry:
