British & Irish Glass / Re: Just another piece of Royal Brierley Studio...
« Last post by chopin-liszt on July 02, 2025, 02:37:25 PM »
I'm a bit confused.  ;D
Are there millifiori white flowers around the bottom? Or is it just a very happy accident that they look like that?
I did not think this design had that level of detail, that it was just a speckled pattern.  :)

Glass / Re: Blue French Vase Origin?

 :) I do not see the expected ring for Biot in the base, and I don't think the bubbles are quite right for Biot either. There are too many small and fairly regular ones. Biot bubbles are very often elongated, of various sizes and more sparsely distributed.
It looks a bit more like either Spanish or Mexican recycled glass to me.  ???

Possibly by one of the Biot workshops, they make bubble glass. They often use a hollow tube instead of a solid pontil rod and it leaves a distinctive thin ring pontil mark, they also make the base domed. I would guess it was blown into a metal frame to create the shape and then the rim finished by hand, not pressed. A lot of their pieces are marked but not all.

completely stumped sorry.

Maybe Czech?  there was a fashion for making perfume bottle with little bottles as stoppers in the 1830s so that could be the inspiration? But that colour is pretty unusual.

It's lovely but kind of old-fashioned in shape - sort of 1940s type thing?

Ta daaah - I think this is the vase I saw identified as WMF in the DK Miller's Art Deco book -

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91UuFyCAYSL._SL1500_.jpg

That page appears in MILLER'S ANTIQUES ENCYCLOPEDIA Hardcover – 3 October 2017
by Judith Miller (Editor)
But I saw it in the Art Deco DK book I believe.

It's the same as a vase in the Josephinenhutte book illustration:

So I was right about it being the same maker as mine - phew :)

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 :)

No polished pontil mark?  Mold blown and cut at rim?
