Topic: Blown optic vase with applied "hooks"?

[Lustrousstone]

All in one feet are quite common (and sometimes surprising complex) on late 19C/early 20C glass from Bohemia and possibly the UK, don't know about US glass. I have at least four pieces. See both pages here and also here.

I'm not suggesting your vase is Bohemian BTW

John Walsh Walsh registered several designs for flower holder sets - vases linked by glass or metal chains, ribbons or arches in 1906-1909. I think arches, whatever they were made of, can be ruled out because of the hooks, but the other three options are all possible. (Gulliver p284-285) Your vase doesn't match any of the designs illustrated but the principle is the same.

a tool that leaves an impression like that

  Patterned pincers perhaps?

That's a crazy foot on Warren's vase, eh?  I wasn't talking so much about the way the whole assembly was made as about the design on each foot.  Maybe I just haven't been looking hard enough to have noticed something like it before.  I've seen plenty that have parallel lines, fan shapes and others, just nothing quite that elaborate (that I remember, anyway!).  No big deal, it would just mean using a tool with a fancier pattern, but I thought perhaps it was distinctive enough that it might point to a particular maker.

Kristi, as I study ot closely, I think the feet were crimped twice with different tools.  Once for the larger drape pattern and with a different tool on the tips of the feet.
