Topic: Green vase - unknown maker

[Otis Orlando]

H!, having trouble trying to identify this pressed vase.  Height 21.5cm   I managed to pull up various  images on the google site over the weekend, but still unable to identify the maker and period.    I'm not sure whether it is modern or a 60's piece.    I appreciate any help you can provide.

A maker doesn't spring to mind but datewise it's somewhere from 1930s to 1960s. Is it uranium glass? have you looked though http://www.pressglas-pavillon.de/index2.html

I've had a quick look in 'Vases'  -  a not uncommon general shape - but wasn't aware of seeing it.

isn't it this one?

The heights don't seem to agree  -  21.5 cms is a little shy of 8.5" - not the 6" or 10" on the carnival piece.

On the green example there are three very distinct and separate hexagonal collars just up from the base  -  the carnival vase appears to have really only one collar.

Could be my eyes, but the green vase seems to have rectangular lenses, whereas the other one doesn't

green is 16 cm, marigold is 20 cm  -  definitely not inch sizes.

Hi Christine,   Definately not uranium.   With ref. to the Pressglas site that I was totally unaware of, and thanks for that,  the only one that has any close resemblance is the vase quarter of the way down the page, the 'Cumberland Vase'. 

I've had a quick look in 'Vases'  -  a not uncommon general shape - but wasn't aware of seeing it.

Thanks for your efforts anyway.  I thought I should mention if not able to identify in the pictures.  'The rectangular lenses' 3rd and 4th layer are concaved.  I don't know if this is of any help, but thought I would mention it anyway.

Hi Ivo, I'm not sure if you were asking me that question.  If so, it definately is not a king james.  The design looks totally different to me.

The height of the vase posted is definately 21.5cm, which is near enough  8 1/2".  The open area of the vase is 8.7cm approx.  and the base, corners to corners, varies slightly in distance, that is..........8.8cm,  9cm and 8.7cm.  This is just an approximation.  I hope I've explained this o.k.  With reference to the green vase you have posted.  Can  you tell me if the stem has three hexagonal ribs,  I am unable to identify this in your pictures?

if you haven't yet looked at Pamela's master catalogues, and you have a few hours to spare ...... http://www.glas-musterbuch.de/

Best of luck.

unable to say - but the uranium and the marigold are definitely from the same maker, the design is identical and the sizes are metric.

at the risk of setting myself up to be shot down in flames, (again - lol) wasn't it decided on here some time ago that this pattern was Jacobean and there was a Clayton Meyers / Davidson / J Inwald connection?

I seem to remember the three hexangonal ring collars were an ident marker and also the base finish varied between Davidson & Inwald pieces?
