Glass Discussion & Research. NO IDENTIFICATION REQUESTS here please. > France
vase - ID = Crystal d'Arques decanter - ?
Pip:
Trudy - firstly, there's no need to be intimidated by any of the members of this board - they're all brilliant and very patient (they've been incredibly patient with me over the past 18 months since I first crashed onto this board - literally!). I don't use proper glass speak at times - sometimes I might say it's got a 'pointy thing' or 'knobbly bit' and on the whole they know what I'm blithering on about.
Secondly, with regard to your vase - I'd still say it's probably not Sklo Union - have a really good look all over it with a magnifying glass - I've got a similar vase that I would have sworn was SU but Marcus doubted it and I couldn't find anything anywhere to identify it UNTIL I looked at it with my daughters magnifying glass and found the word 'FRANCE' almost invisibly hidden around the base.
Sklounion:
I have serious reservations about the base of this vase.....
hence my unwillingness to say Czech, sorry Trudy, Ed and others....
This MIGHT be Czech/French, but there are serious other candidates who need to be considered.

Thanks so much everyone. I know you are all lovely...and I everyone helps when they can on items Ive noticed.
Im not worried about where its from, just needed to know as it bugs me when I know nothing about an item..lol The only thing about France and seeing the word Arcoroc...all I can think of is our old dinner set that we used to have..lovely um brown colour and they used to bounce if you dropped them. ;D
And Id never heard of Sklo Union till I came here but since I got my two SU candle holders, Ive become a fan I have to say.
I will go over the vase again with a magnifying glass and find out where the cafe is. I guess the time difference is the only hinderance there. If I find anything then I will post for future reference for Ed or someone else.

It's a 24 hour cafe! ;)

Looks like there's some kind of expert on Sklo Union in Glasgow (ebay). He says "IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE A ZEJMON VASE DESIGNED BY JIRI ZEJMON FOR RUDOLFOVA HUT" I've been over the the base with a magnifier and a loop. There are no marks of any kind. This is the best pic I have managed to take of it http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-7976 (get big) as far as showing the pattern is concerned. It's a tricky one to photo well.
