Topic: Isle of Wight Studio Glass aurene vase, unusual shape

[glassobsessed]

Well I think it is a shape I have not seen in Aurene before...

It was a swap for a Whitefriars bark vase, oh happy days!

Quite thick and heavy (which surprised me when I picked it up), 13cm tall, usual flame mark to base. I wonder if it is a later piece, given the shape - more 1982 rather than 1974.

Any thoughts?

I've got a teeny-tiny but half-inch thickglass pin dish in Aurene - it did come in some unusual shapes - there are short fat cylinders which did not become a standard shape later on... there are Mdina bowls this shape though.

Is your vase really bright orange?

Is your vase really bright orange?

Depends how you light it.

Not long to the National now, I will ask Ron about it.

Here's an image of a couple of Gold Aurene cylinders - non-standard sizes, and an Aurene pin dish, again a non-standard piece.

Lovely.

We just need the fabby square shaped Aurene perfume bottle our Guinea-pig queen has to complete the picture of really unusual Aurene shapes so far discovered....

unless somebody else knows of more?

There are, of course, my massive cylinders, but I have seen a couple of others.
