Title: Ashtray brown/clear ID = Schott Zwiesel
Post by: rocco on December 31, 2010, 03:28:20 PM

Any ideas? My guess would be contemporary...
11,5 x 11,5 cm

Thanks!
Michael

Hi Michael,
I think it might be Schott Zwiesel and a relative of these vases:

Hi Dirk, thanks a lot!!
These really do look very similar.
We could have a positive ID here :)

Perhaps the base might be another pointer. The vases have a circular, concave
indent to their square bases.

Didn't make a pic of the base, but have just checked - and yes, you are perfectly right, it has a wide concave indent.
Another mystery solved, thank you very much, Dirk!

 :hi: Guten Rutsch! (Or do you say something different in Vienna?)

Dir auch Guten Rutsch! (We have loads of nice language differences between Germany and Austria, but not in this case :) )
