Hi all you kind and informative people on GMB
Can anyone help me with an ID for this glass , I have this flared mouth vase in a smokey blue glass , it has a bulbous body and a distinct ribbed design pattern around the vase , standing at 7" high , the base has a spoke pattern which is hard to see on the photo's . I will thank you all now for any replies I receive about this glass vase . Thank You Roy

Wonder if this could possibly be Wedgewood Glass.....the shape does look familiar.


Just found this one, looks similar, although not 100% sure the ribbing is exactly the same or not when comparing the photos, certainly similar...
