Instead of Inwald, I would say Libochovice.

I also had this in Uranium green but never confirmed a maker, generally thought to be Czech

Hi, just wondering if you have any evidence for this attribution? I did also once suspect Libochovice as a possible maker as I've seen a turquoise from them which was a close colour match to one of these vases. However, the fact that an opalescent one (Nigel's) has turned up meant I was leaning more towards Reich or Inwald as I've not seen any opalescent glass from Libochovice.

Until we find some documentary evidence (pattern book, advert, sales catalogue, etc.) I suspect it is going to have to remain a mystery...

Hi Steven

That's only my guessing. The storks on this vase looks very similar to a float bowl (also unidentified) which often seen to match one of the libochovice centrepieces (like the frog on the bullrushes). I've also seen this vase in dark blue and the shade is very identical to the penguin float bowl which is also made by Libochovice. I have never seen a piece of opalescent glass made by Libochovice, but having said that, it doesn;t mean they don't make them...maybe just a small batch??

Cheers

The opalescent vase reminds me of Joblings fish salad bowl for colouring.
I must admit the moulding on the opalescent vase is quite inferior to the say amber one I have.
I have only ever come across opalescent glass in Reich-which if you look at the 2nd picture has a thick opalescent quality to it so it's not Reich I don't think.
When I think of the Inwald dancing lady centrepiece/flamingoes I have seen in turquoise and I have seen this vase in turquoise and the only other turquoise glass I seem to remember is Schweig,Mueller and Co.
There is also a large kneeling lady lamp on a circualar stepped plinth that I have seen in the Turquoise glass so I always wondered if she was made by Inwald or Mueller.
