Purple - optic - strange vase.
« on: December 02, 2014, 03:44:19 PM »
Can anyone help with this?

What is it for - flowers? I presume thirties as far as age is concerned.

The vase is about 5 inches tall and has a rough pontil scar.

99% Gordiola although Venini did also produced a similar design.

It reminds me of the special tulip vases that were invented when tulips first were discovered in the far east and brought back to Europe - in those days, a single tulip bulb might have cost more than a house here - they were so rare and desirable.

I think you need to wait until somebody with knowledge of these to come along. I don't know if our lovely Patricia C. might have the answers you need, but given her knowledge of bulb and hyacinth vases I think she will know something.

It could be a modern take on one of these, I simply don't know.

A google search of images brings some old ceramic ones up.
