« on: March 05, 2008, 04:26:01 PM »
Hi
    Can anyone tell me when this pressed vase would have bee made and is it English? this is very heavy, and stands a proud 8ins high, being 3ins at the base and 6.5ins at the top, it has a diamond and floral effect to it, dont know the name for the shape of the rim, sorry, hoping all this help in defining this vase cheers

Hi
    is this a flower vase or was it made for celery sticks i have spent the last hour going though, the identification of English pressed Glass book, 1842-1908 by Jenny Thompson, but to no avail, so im guessing its not English,

I would say it's a flower vase and probably newer than 1908, which is why you can't find it in Thompson
