Tall bright jade green uranium blow-moulded vase
« on: November 30, 2008, 03:02:44 PM »
Does anyone have any idea where this vase might have been made please? It's blow-moulded in a bright green jade-like uranium glass. Unmarked. 27 cm tall. It has a ground pontil mark in the concave footed base; the grinding is very coarse. The pattern is tall reeded leaves with a non-repeating pattern of smaller lobed leaves over larger more rounded leaves around the bottom. My instinct is Italy. The glass does not contain a myriad of tiny bubbles to give it its cloudiness as in Nason's jade uranium. Any bubbles are just that. I only have one other piece in a similar bright green, but that is much finer glass and has a lovely polished pontil.

Westmoreland wouldn't leave an unpolished pontil mark, and few Fenton pieces have any pontil.  Highly likely it's European.
