Edward Moore Chalice Vase ????
fiddlesticks:
Edward Moore Chalice Vase ???? Had a mooch around the net and found something very close to this piece, different colour but shape pretty much the same. In fact it has distinct vaseline look to it, off-white. On closer inspection at the bottom part of the bowl near the knop there was very obviously a gilded fancy design, you can just see the outline, not on the piccy though cus it's too faint. Has a little gilding left around the top.
Any ideas :D

Ivo:
more like French or Bohemian opaline, 1860s
fiddlesticks:
definitely not opaline, true colour is vaseline, compared it to my tub of !! :lol: Camera never takes good pictures of items this colour.
KevinH:
I agree with Ivo.
In fact, my first reaction was that it was French because it looks a bit more "delicate" in form than those which I have thought to be Bohemian, but either could be correct.
And I also agree that it's Opaline glass.
Sklounion:
Based purely on the number of pieces I am currently seeing here, on virtually every vide-grenier and brocante, I'm inclined to go with Ivo and KevH, and stylistically this is right for French. Opaline, and anytime from mid 1800s onwards. I am also regularly seeing comparatively modern opaline vases, in old patterns, still bearing paper tags("fait a la main en Lorraine") for glass factories in the Alsace-Lorraine region.
