Yep, I was trying to hard, that ADHD gets the best of me sometimes. Doesn't let me leave well enough alone. Thank you. I am now confident that that is an "F" in the middle.

Glass / I'm back with another vase
« Last post by crystavon on March 31, 2024, 05:23:17 PM »
I have another vase. I am pretty sure it's Fenton, I believe I am seeing an insides "F"  but I am having trouble finding an example on this piece. And it looks an awful lot like a Westmorland pattern and color to me. The acid etched "F' is throwing me as I have never ran across this...I have just started really studying Fenton glass. Just trying to learn from you guys. I took the best photos I could, trying to capture the pattern more than the shape of the vase. Also please ignore where I didn't finish cleaning off the yard sale sticker. Thank you again, y'all are amazing with all the information.

7 1/2" tall
4 5/8" across the top
3 3/16" diameter base

Looks like a glass from a lemonade set, along the lines produced by Schneider and no doubt others in the 30s.

I found this in a local 'junk' shop, but I'm hoping it's not junk. As you can see from the pictures, it has a strange colour combination of a bright orange bowl on a green foot.

The orange colour seems to be flashed on the surface, both inside and outside. There is a faint thin line of clear glass around the centre of the rim. It's hard to see. The green base seems to have colour through the glass, but I can't be certain.

There are a lot of tiny bubbles in both bowl and foot. I'm not sure if it has been blown or moulded. There is fine creasing on the base, so maybe moulded.

The item is 10.5 cm high, 7.2 cm across the rim, and 6.2 cm across the foot.

Any suggestions for maker and age are appreciated. Thank you.

A very left field suggestion - Aseda  similar to this Decanter by them.

I have found a few other examples of pieces that have a similar design. Fenton piece is the same color and pattern, less the opalescent and skill. There were some owls with the same tooling on the body. And I found the artist/vase you shared. I just know I was not on the right track when I came here. I still love the vase and it now is displayed in my kitchen. Next to the another (I am assuming Chinese vase), a stunning Houze vase, a reproduction jadeite hand, a Smith compote, Avon bottle shaped like a rino, a vintage Fiesta gravy boat, chipped McCoy vase and a Northwood bowl. I am working on having a rainbow in my kitchen lol. Mainly anything to hide that wallpaper that I am not looking forward to taking down. It Is all crammed together right now because I am trying to thin out some pieces and need to see what colors I am lacking and what colors I need more of. So as you can see, I am not about the brand, I am just a collector of all things I find pretty or ridiculous (since the rhinoceros) be it pottery, glass or copper.  (Edited to correct the autocorrect of Houze)

I am reliably  informed that the Wealdstone Catalogue was not comprehensive and many pieces of the range were not included. I seem to recall that they were heavier than they looked. Best of luck with your search.

Hi, and thanks for the link to the Wealdstone range.  I've been through the Wealdstone catalogue a couple of times now but can't find the combination of shape and height that match my vase.  Never mind, it's always nice to have a project!:-)

Kind regards, Neil

Possibly related to these by Koscherak Brothers?

Yup odd one , it’s well made and a nice weight, the wear looks kosher so I would love it to be a Qing piece but the base seems wrong from the ones I’ve come across .They we’re making iridescent glass in Poland around 1860 and I think in Hungary ?,but I haven’t seen examples .
