Good indigo/grey vase with 4 ribs - ID? - ID = Freidrichskristall
« on: November 11, 2007, 05:38:50 PM »
Hi, another one I bought last week - I've been looking through my books during the week and haven't got anywhere yet :-\.

It is 24.5cm high, 9cm across the top.  Not cased - soda glass?  Fair amount of wear on the base which has not been ground or polished.  The top rim is neatly polished, the glass looks good quality with a few air bubbles (which tend to be tear-shaped if that helps).

It seems a familiar shape but I just can't find it anywhere....

No idea who made it, but there's one of these in ruby red sat in a local charity shop.

Some say Riihmaki, some say Chinese...

Isn't Riihimaki cased though?

The quality of the red vase I've seen doesn't really seem to match the Riihimaen glass I have.

Could be Chinese, but my first thought was European.

Well I'd say that mine is better than my cased Riihimaen vases (only got 3 though), especially the finishing of the rim.  The Riihimaen ones are quite sharp edged while this vase is very smooth.

I have this one (similar ribbing, different shape) which did have a Friedrich label on it. Not sure where it went though, 'cos it has disappeared (probably up the vacumn cleaner).

If I know, I'll comment. If I think I know, I'll have a go. If I have no idea, I'll just keep quiet and learn from others, so the next time I'll know.

Thanks folks - I've been googling FRIEDRICH KRISTALL and versions of it, and not finding a lot :-\.  But I did find a page http://www.glaskilian.de/Friedrich.507.0.html which has an orange and a blue vase with similar ribs, although a lot look cased.  Anyone got any better links? 

Kev, if you happen to find your vase - any chance of a pic?

cheers
