Title: Blue & Clear Ribbed Vase -- Polished Base + Concave + Pontil ??
Post by: antiquerose123 on May 14, 2010, 05:50:06 AM
Hi there.....Just got this today from an Estate Sale.

It is Blue glass in the middle with 3 clear ribbed edges.  It is about 11.5 inches tall, and about 4.5 inches wide.  The vase is in a triangular shape.  The base is polished, concaved, has a pontil mark PLUS has lots of wear on the bottom.  To me (??) it seems well made - but I ain't gonna Guess no more....

Any ideas of who made this, year, and any other info?  Thanks as always  :)

( I hope it is not Chinese or else I will :thud: )

Jordan Import Co. had some vases very similar in form to this one. It might be one of their Murano vases.

Gee, TxSilver - that sounds promising I hope!! 

It was priced @ $7.50, I got for $5.00.  So I hope this one works out for me.  Do you think this should be moved to the Murano Board?

Again Thanks TxSilver  :kissy:

Hi there:

Was this sort of what TxSilver meant?  Not sure if it is the same -- but same wave-length idea I guess.

*Bump*

I was wondering IF TxSilver might feel this is a match here also on this site (The Middle Vase):
http://gallery.blancoglass.com/v/J+I_Co_Glass/trademe2_201.jpg.html  These vases are made by Jordon Import Co. (J.I. Co).

 ....So Might this be moved then to the Murano Board (??)  :huh:  To see.  Thanks as always.

The vase that I was thinking is like the twisted vase on the left, but doesn't have the twist. JI Co. makes the 3-point design in both twisted and untwisted. I have a couple of pictures that I borrowed from eBay, so I can't post them. The single color of yours is different, but the form is very similar. I cannot say for sure because the form would be fairly easy one for other companies to use. We need a JI Co expert. Maybe if we concentrate, we can bring shandiane in.  :)

Hi - I just found this and thought I would add. I know that this attribution may be wrong -- but could be interesting note too (I guess).

Can"t go wrong with $5, the ones I've brought over the years have cost to get them over at least USA$30 in postage!
