Title: Bubble glass id help appreciated
Post by: palo400 on March 25, 2007, 12:58:25 PM

Below is a pic of a vase bought yesterday. The quality of the controlled bubbles is 1st class, but it's not signed. I think this is because it's been classed as a second (the shape of the vase isn't exactly symetrical).
Don't think it's magnor as the quality is better. May be Nuutajarvi Notsjo, or possibly Sven Palmqvist?

Any id help appreciated.
Thanks

I sure hope someone knows something about this. I have one and it was one of the first things I bought from ebay several years ago. Terry

Erickson used this colour green and did good bubble work but I can't say for sure - I can maybe find out.
Doesn't look like Nuutajaarvi to me. Kosta should be signed.
How big it this piece ? Knowing that will help me guage how big the bubbles are. They look really small.

Could be Japanese. I have something similar in blue with a sticker... Sasaki I think.

Cheers
 The piece is 14 cm high - I don't think this piece is Japanese as the piece was required off somebody
who source a lot of stock from Denmark.

You'd be surprised at some of the glass I've found in Denmark... it gets about a bit.

How is the base finished? Any chance of a picture please?  In the land of bubble bud vases, small well controlled bubbles says Czech, but the colour...........? Not quite right :-\

I recently bought a similar vase as Kastrup and Peter Harder agrees it is likely to be from the early 50s. Here is part of his response to me.

"It is off course always difficult to be absolutely sure, but in the Kastrup Glasværk catalogue Maj, 1954 there is a item no. 508 that is very similar to yours.  The diameter is set to approx. 8,5 centimetres and the height is approx 15,0 centimetres – The catalogue does state that for the moment the items is only delivered in dark green colour, but yours could be from a later production where they have made in blue as well."

I would try contacting him.
