I got this flower or hyacinth bulb vase today. It's heavy lead crystal with precise and sharp cutting. The bottom part is octagonal with flat sides. The top is also octagonal, with the sides lined up with the corners of the base. The underside of the base has a smooth concave pontil mark. The vase stands 15 cm high, 10 cm across the widest part, the base is 7.5 cm across corner to corner, the neck is 2.5 cm high, and the top is 7.5 cm across corner to corner. There are no maker's marks on the piece that I can see.
It is a quality piece with apparently some age. There is some wear to the base and a couple of minute flea bites, but otherwise in excellent condition.
I know there are collectors for flower bulb vases. I know of the book by Patricia Coccoris, but don't have a copy. Can anyone help identify this vase? Thanks in advance.
Anton
