Glass Message Board

oooh.  That reminds me of a little brown speckled bowl I had that I thought was ... hmm maybe Sunderland Glass?  Might have been a brown Terrazzo pattern RB?  I'll have to dig it out and have another look.  Nice colour on your vase

I had not noticed that, not ribbing but an image of my bay window, looks like it is acting as a lens as the four blocks on the left are the upside down view.

Funnily enough I did wonder about Leerdam as maker but did not find anything, got the impression colour was not typical. Will see if I can get a better photo.

Assumed when I bought this that it was some sort of decanter, it was caked in grime and completely gummed up, a thick liquid in the top section was probably shampoo. it appears to be a juice decanter, the lower chamber for water and the smaller top for the juice, lemon or lime would work or maybe a concentrate instead.

It reminded me of Kaj Franck's Kremlin Kellots and it is this Phillips auction description that points towards the intended use:

The shape looks very deco to my eye, roughly 24cm tall. The uranium glass has a slight blue tint, not a clue as to maker, expect it would be a tough item to identify.

Christine may well be right but I can't tell from your photos whether the base is matte or polished, also I take it those white marks towards the bottom of the base are reflection or scratches rather than a signature?
