Hello
 
I have this vase that has been passed down through my family and I am not sure how old it is actually but quit old. There is no signature or makers marks on the vase.
 
Anyone know who may have made it.  The colors are stunning.
 
 
Any help would be great
 
Thank you

Without a signature it will almost be impossible to id maker. My guess would be "Vandermark" or possibly "Phoenix Studio".
From what I can see in the pictures it does not look old enough to be Quezal or any other maker from that time period.
The "Fan vase w/pulled feather " is a very popular contemporary design.

Here is an example of Phoenix studio glass vase with similar heart. They use a sticker and most of the time a signature too.

Also there are so many U.S. studios that work the hanging hearts designs where the signature is dremel polished off to pass for Durand it isn't even funny. Terry  Crider's work is one that shows up often.

Email Donald Carlson the 4 square pontil marks are common to him as is extensive use of iridescence.

See photos of two vases of mine ( the Don Richardson vase was done while he worked for Don Carlson).

How do you know this is 40 years old?  Have you asked your family any info about it?  It's so beautiful.  Yeah it's really odd that it's not signed.

I know Don Richardson worked for Don Carlson from 1975 until around 1995.  So don Carlson was producing that long ago.
