Keith,

Can you provide a closeup of the lip and the underside, and also of the glass itself?

Just to add,the white 'blob' in pic' 2 is not from the camera it is in the glass, same with the thin white streak in pic' 3,Keith.

My initial reaction to it is an enameled Rindskopf piece. I will check with some others and get back to you again.

Concur with Craig - I think Rindskopf is very likely on this one.

Hi Keith,

It has been suggested that it could also be Riedel, as they also did their Formosa line, a green aventurine product with red glass.  Many of their forms were fairly linear and less organic feeling, and this piece also has that feel to it.  They also did a lot of gold enameling on vases.....  

I still lean a little towards Rindskopf........

Unless we find the exact shape in an easily identifiable decor, that may be as good as we will do......

I have seen this shape with a ruffled top in Rindskopf's feather pulled treatment (see Loetz.com, Rindskopf photo No. 11) - The glass in this vase looks like the cased glass that Rindskopf was doing a lot of in the mid 1920s.

I do have to say that the shape of the underside bothers me a little for Rindskopf. Even their mold blown stuff is flatter on the underside than this piece is.

Craig - this type of bottom is common on those cased glass Rindskopf piece from the 1920s (some have silver rims hallmarked with dates circa 1925). See the attached two photos of groups of known Rindkopf pieces.

I lean even stronger towards Rindskopf after seeing these images of the undersides.....

Warren..... can you email me images of those pieces individually with an image of the underside of each for the website?

Thanks, Craig
