vase - ID = Crystal d'Arques decanter - ?

<< < (2/8) > >>

Anne:
I rather think Ivo is correct when he suggest Crystal d'Arques for this (see the comment below the photo in the gallery.) Pip I've seen them with the red panels as well... they are either Arques or Arcoroc I'm sure.

Sklounion:
Hi,
This does look similar to the French items that also came in plain flint and a pink/orange undecorated. If French it should show numbers to the base. If it has none, then a better image might help, preferably using a dark background, and an image of the base of the vase too, please.
Regards,
Marcus

Hi all and thanks for your replies and help.

Ive been trying all morning to take a decent shot of them both. I either cant get the focus or the lighting or both correct. Ive taken what I can.
I cant find any markings on either of them. The decanter base is quite scratched so that makes it harder. Plus Im not great at finding marks, I seem to have blinkers on where they are concerned sometimes. The decanter lid fits but at the same time wiggles a bit.
Here are the shots Ive managed to take. Sorry if they are no further help..and Im a bit hopeless at using the 'proper descriptive terms' for the glass.
Ive taken a top view of the decanter also to show the twist effect.

Hi again with this post...I took the extra pics so I hope noone minds that Ive bumped this back to the front. Mainly the ?French vase is the one I need help with...

I'm with Lynne in that I don't think your decanter stopper is original to the body of the decanter.  A decanter stopper should echo or at least compliment the shape of the body - yours seems curiously 'out of bonk' (technical term  ;)) somehow.   :)
