Glass / Art Déco (??) painted and gilded vase ID help please
« Last post by rberthon on Today at 09:13:53 PM »
Hi,
I bought this vase and try to figure out an ID.
It is 28cm high and 10cm in diameter. The shape is cylindrical outside but have 14 facets inside. The lower part is pink (not pink glass but a kind of enameled painting I suppose). The main decor has a whitish enameled painting with painted flowers and gilded geometric motif.
The geometric motif looks pretty Art Deco to me.
I bought the vase in France but I'm not sure it's French. I don't remember having seen this geometric decoration in French productions. I was thinking maybe it's from Belgium, Germany or Austria.
Do you have any idea ? Many thanks in advance

Today, the number one enemy of health is SUGAR. Before, it was SALT, then FATS, red MEATS and always a sedentary lifestyle.
But today, it is the sweet, SUGAR.
Jan Exnar's "lollipops"are a plea, an early (1990's) and desperate song to a paradise that is being denied to us,
 a childhood that is more bitter, less sweet, to which we will never be able to return.

Hoy el enemigo nº 1 de la salud es el AZUCAR. Antes lo fueron la SAL, luego las GRASAS, las CARNES rojas y siempre el sedentarismo.
Pero hoy es lo dulce, el AZUCAR.
Los "pirulis" de Jan Exnar son un alegato, un canto temprano (1990´s) y desesperado a un paraiso que se nos está siendo  prohibido, 
una infancia mas amarga menos dulce a la que nunca podremos regresar.

Very Bayel or Vannes, most unlikely to be Italian.

Book for sale:

ART GLASS 1880-1930 by Michel CAPOU

Techniques and Signatures of Master Glassmakers

Detached from its partly oxidized staples.
Cover in its own juice
This workshop book, which has reached us in good general condition, is an essential tool for art glass lovers.
Format: 29.5 x 21 cm / 52 pages + 2 detachable signature pages
Summary of the book
Glass art has never achieved such a wide variety of techniques, as much artistic fullness as in the period from 1880 to 1930.
The first period until 1914 was called "art nouveau" or "ART 1900", the second period from 1919 to the 1930s called "STYLE 1925" or "decorative art".
Under the general name of glass paste, most often associated with the names of artists or firms of the time such as: Gallé, Daum, Walter, Legras, Schneider, Delatte, Muller, etc... is in fact hidden a very wide variety of glass processing techniques, on which various artistic aspects of shapes, colors and decorations are superimposed.
Moreover, very often certain manufacturing processes, certain colors were "family secrets", specific to each house, which allow connoisseurs to identify the origin of a piece of glassware, whether it was a confidential or even unique model. , or an industrially manufactured example.
This booklet, without being exhaustive, attempts to present as complete a synthesis as possible of the different techniques for manufacturing art glass, and of the multiple signatures used by firms and artists.

LE VERRE D'ART 1880-1930 par Michel CAPOU
Techniques et Signatures des Maîtres-Verriers

Détaché de ses agrafes en partie oxydées.
Couverture dans son jus
Ce livre d’atelier, arrivé jusqu’à nous en bon état général, est un  outil indispensable pour les amateurs de verre d'art
Format : 29.5 x 21 cm / 52 pages + 2 pages détachables de signatures

Résumé du livre
L'art du verre n'a jamais atteint une aussi grande variété de techniques, autant de plénitude artistique que dans la période de 1880 à 1930.
La première période jusqu'en 1914 répondant à la dénomination " art nouveau " ou" ART 1900 ", la deuxième période de 1919 aux années 30 nommée " STYLE 1925 " ou "art décoratif ".
Sous l'appellation générale de pâte de verre, associée le plus souvent aux noms d'artistes ou de firmes de l'époque comme : Gallé, Daum, Walter, Legras, Schneider, Delatte, Muller, etc... se cache en fait une très grande variété de techniques de mise en œuvre du verre, à laquelle se superposent divers aspects artistiques sur les formes, les couleurs et les décors.
D'ailleurs très souvent certains procédés de fabrication, certaines couleurs étaient des " secrets de famille ", propres à chaque maison, qui permettent aux connaisseurs d'identifier l'origine a' pièce de verrerie, que ce soit un modèle confidentiel, voire unique, ou un exemplaire de fabrication industrielle.
Ce fascicule, sans être exhaustif, essaie de présenter une synthèse la plus complète possible des différentes techniques de fabrication du verre d'art, et des multiples signatures utilisées par les firmes et les artistes.

Hello,

I am new here.  I've been buying crystal and glass at estate sales for the last couple of years and researching as best I can.

Here is something I picked up recently at the estate of a German immigrant family along with some 1920ish high end German china.  Wondering if this looks familiar to anyone.

I have 8 of these, and the bottoms, which are very heavy, are completely flat for 3 of them, for 4 more there is a slight indentation where I assume the pontil has been ground out, and for one (see attached) the indentation ends with a small hole where I assume there was a hole but they did not grind all the way down.

Appreciate all of your thoughts.

Rgds,

Mike

Looks like they got as much use out of the stencil as they could, I imagine they must wear out quickly.

All one.
That's why I assumed yours was broken. I can't see well enough from those photos to see that there is anything suggesting there was some way of propping the middle bit onto the foot.

We do have "recipes" for getting photos that will be accepted and that will blow up, but which set of instructions you use depends on what computery bits you use too.

Thanks Ekimp, I did consider that but however much I looked at it I couldn't get it to read that. After another look, I think you are right.
