Topic: All Ruby Vase????

[CultureVulture]

All ruby glass vase 9.75 inch tall, 1.5 inch dia rim, 2.75 inch base. Any ID's would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Selenium Red glassware is usually post war and either Whitefriars, WMF or Zwiesel, or Reijmyre. Though not exclusively of course, that would be too easy.

Frustrating i thought id solved it as a whitefriars 9607 (but thats 9 inches). This is 9.75 inches and slightly more slender as if they have elongated a 9607. Ill carry on the search.

I suspect that these are copper-based ruby rather than selenium ruby. Copper ruby tends to have a bit of black to it, while selenium ruby will go a bit orange.

My first thought was a 9607 too, one here in shadow green light weight soda glass.

Like you say just a little different in shape at the top.

Thankyou for your help. It must be copper ruby glass as it is very dark.

 Pretty sure the same vase is currently listed on eBay in the Whitefriars section titled  'dark copper ruby vase Whitefriars'
Maybe I am being 'picky' here but for me that's not the way it should work?
