Please help identify penguin deco glass vase?
« on: June 29, 2008, 04:51:56 PM »
Hi...does anyone have information on the maker of this art deco vase/box?  It is a green, opalescent glass with stylized penguins and icicles on the outside of it. It measures approximately 3" high x 4.25" wide.  TIA.

Thats the bottom of a powder jar that surfaces here in the U.S. every now & then. The manufacturer has not been identified. The top is square with a standing penguin, centered on the top. Ken
