Topic: Satin Glass Controlled Bubble Vase - MOP? Victorian? Murano?

Kovels has this listed as Mt. Washington too, though I don't know how reliable a source they are.

Plenty of online sources seem to think Mt Washington made air trap glass and there seem to be lots of examples. Are you just talking about the muslin pattern Ron?

The vase is Victorian, pretty sure about that, but a lot of manufacturers made air trap satin glass...it could be English, Bohemian or American.

From what I understand, there are no air trap pieces that can be positively attributed to Mt. Washington. Air trap is not even mentioned in the latest book, Mt. Washington Art Glass, copyright 2004, by Betty Sisk.

Just a follow up...I emailed William Pitt of Brookside Antiques, and he said, "Yes, I believe your vase to be made by Mt. Washington. Although different companies made satin glass, this is a shape that is typical of Mt. Washington." I tend to think he's a pretty good source. The only book I have with this kind of glass in it...It seems like half the photos are his! Also, I believe this would be dotted swiss pattern rather than muslin. The pattern on my vase is more like dotted swiss fabric.
