Hi all,

Bought 3 vases on the weekend at a charity sale. All came from the same deceased estate...apparently there is more to come but they couldnt bring it all...The first one I identified as a Riihimaki ?
The second clear one I thought may be Sklo Union but Im taking a guess..it measures 22cm high weighs just under a kilo and is 7 and 8cm wide at 2 different points.

The decanter measures just over 21.5cm in height. Has etched ferns/leaves on it. Snapped pontil on the base. The lid is hollow and seems to be frosted inside. I was thinking moisture but I cannot find a crack or a hole and nothing Ive done has made any difference to it. Im thinking Victorian  :-\ but Ive been wrong countless times...lol.

Any help would be appreciated. I havent decided whether to keep these yet but if I dont, Id like to be able to describe them to some degree.

Thanks,
Selina

Hi Selina, i keep comming back to your vase and each time i think French, but i could be totaly wrong, Marcus would know better, as to your decanter, the image's are a bit dark so it's hard to tell  :-\ and are you sure the stopper fit's ?
                                                                                                                    Regard's Sue.

josordoni:
Very pretty ferns on the decanter Selina, but I am not happy about that stopper... are the two pieces numbered by any chance?

Pip:
Sue, I've been thinking French about that one also - it reminds me of those vases where some of the panels are a red/burgundy colour.  I really don't know for sure if it's Sklo Union or not but my gut feelings are that it's not.  Cooooeeeeeyyyy Marcus :-)

Sue C:
That's exactly what i thought Pip, Selina, take a good look at the base to see if there are any marks.
