Topic: Can Anyone Identify this vase

[brewster113]

Hello all, I found this vase at a local bibles for missions this am and felt it to be quite good piece of glass. It has good weight and a polished pontil. The decoration is wheel engraved all over this piece and the colour is superb. Any help in identifying this would be greatly appreciated. There is no marks or tags to denote china but you just never know. I have been involved with glass for a long time and it feels good.
regards Bruce

Bruce — I thought it might be Walsh, but, on checking the relevant photograph in Jackson WF Lookalikes and the pattern book entries in Reynolds, I can confirm that I am confident that it's not Walsh.   I don't have any other suggestions.

Where are you?

I dont know who its by but i believe the technique is Battuto so could be Italian .
 I like it .JP

I believe this is contemporary German - found in TKMaxx. Sorry, "foggy" and can't remember the name.
Good quality, nice feel.  :thup:

I'm sorry, but are we sure this is not the cheap votive holder used in community halls across the country?  :huh:

Sorry Carolyn but this is far from the usual votive holder but is a vase about 8" in dia. and is cut all over in a process called battuto which johnphillip was so good to point out.

I've seen them in an unusual greeny-browny shade too. TKMaxx here is TJMaxx, I believe, across the pond.
If you're unaware of this shop, it sells "end-of-line", last season's, goods. Often very good quality stuff, often tat.
I've bought Caithness paperweights and Beranek "Tropical flowers" there. I'm pretty much housebound, don't get there often, but I like to keep an eye out on what they've got glass-wise - it keeps turning up on the secondary market.
Sorry I can't remember the name, but I did particularly note this glass because of the quality.

Jozefina of Poland might be an option, they have use quite a lot of battuto styles http://www.jozefina.pl/23E.html

and Rosenthal http://www.luxurycrystal.com/rosenthal-crystal-vases-e.motion.htm

A few of these Josephina pieces can also be found in TKMaxx.
My brother has a couple of these German ones. I'll ask, if I remember,  :spls: when I next speak to him.
