GUL Vase or fake ?
« on: August 21, 2014, 11:09:07 AM »
Hello dear experts,

I found this bottle vase on a market and I don´t think it is an Otto Breuer Gulvase, but I am not a 100 % sure.

It is blue like turmalin of the Wilhelm Wagenfeld vases by WMF. The total height is 25 cm. The corpus is 17,5 cm and the neck 7,5 cm long . Diameter of the corpus is 4 cm and 8 cm of the top. Total weight is 572 g.

Has anybody an idea ?

Thank you very much

Andreas

The colour and length of the neck in relation to the body are not Brauer Gul vase.

If it were by Holmegaard, it would be a 'gulvvase' (with two 'v's).

It's a lovely colour, though, whoever made it. :)

These were sold under the "Broste Copenhagen" brand. They've also sold a few other designs inspired by Holmegaard originals, usually with slightly different proportions.
At the same time they were selling this one, there was also another which had the correct proportions and height for a gulvvase in the smallest size; the colour of that one was amethyst—one to look out for  ;)
