Both spellings are correct written, but in typed form it should used the combined form of ae thus Medićval.

:D:D:D

I've searched and searched, but I can't find the thread which describes these vases being swung over the maker's heads! I'm pretty sure it was about the same time as Adam D wrote all those amazing descriptions of pressed glass making and the double-melting thing, but I've read them all again (- well worthwhile!) and can't find it. :cry:

Nigel Benson once described a "rule of 3", for use in identifying things. If it has 3 features that are absolutely "right", then it's probably what you think it is.

That opaque base had my brain screaming "Flygsfors" at me.  :shock:  :lol:

Nic, for what it's worth, colour looks right for WF Arctic Blue from where I sit too. But I've never seen the beaked vases in the glass.

It might have been a Cafe entry, and has since been lost to the ether, which is a shame.  :(

The opaque look of Nic's second pic is just the effect of some backlighting due to the angle of the daylight coming from his window.

I am still unable to access Emmi's tinypic.
Fortunately Terry in US could, so sent it to me and I have re-hosted it. I hope you don't mind Emmi. Assuming that others are still having difficulty, here it is

 - and shows a surprising  amount of variation:
I am inclined to agree with Max and Emmi on this piece.

I'm sure it was pre-cafe days, but may have been lost one time the site went down, which was what inspired having an archive section in the first place.  :cry:

Anyway, it was an excuse to rummage in the archives - a habit I strongly recommend! :D

Hi Peter,, that's fine with me re: the photo, no problem at all, wonder why though it wasn;t working for some people?  Likely to be something I did or didn't do, but usually they work out OK.  Thanks again for doing it.  Emmi

What an interesting thread. :lol:

A thousand thanks Peter, for posting the photos. For someone like me  :oops:  an invaluable insight into variations...............and as they say, a picture speaks a thousand words. :lol:
Again, thank you.

Thanks too Nic. Great vase btw. I love the colour too.
If I know, I'll comment. If I think I know, I'll have a go. If I have no idea, I'll just keep quiet and learn from others, so the next time I'll know.

Thanks for reposting Emmi's photo Peter, I tried it several times and couldn't see it before.

For my money, Emmis photo is conclusive evidence that Nic's vase is WF.  That shade of blue is quite particular, isn't it?  Really unusual hue.  I know what Sue meant about Flygsfors too...the clunky bottom (a bit like my own  :wink: ) had me thinking about Scandi too before.

Yippeee for the GMB pooling of information!  I'm glad Nic's vase didn't turn out to be a 'witch'.  ;)
