Need Help Identifying Vase Please
« on: May 25, 2009, 03:23:30 AM »
I have this vase that belonged to my grandmother or her mother, not sure.  There are no marks on it except the numeric mark on the bottom.  Does this mean anything to anyone?  The flowers are etched and the gold is handpainted.  The vase is dark green at the bottom and goes to clear around the middle.  It stands approx 10 inches tall and 3.5" wide at its widest.  Any help is appreciated!  Thnx!

I haven't seen this specific vase, but it looks similar to some of the Harrach vases I have seen. My main hesitation is that it has only a one-line alphanumeric designation, instead of two.  The gold decoration around the base is very Harrach-like.

Definitely a quality vase, surely a good bohemian maker, c1880-1920.
Possibly , as Anita says Harrach, or maybe Moser.
Have a search on here ,using search facility above,
heres one of mine,
http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,18887.0.html
and google with those names.
try  http://www.great-glass.co.uk/library/libindex.htm
http://home.earthlink.net/~verredart1/glass/Harrach.html

and some of the links off these sites.
Good luck
Andy

Ask Moser directly - they will confirm or not.

Can I have my formerly purchased item identified by Moser?
Please send us a product photo and a shot of the company’s logo on the bottom of the product at customerservice@moser-glass.com, fax them at +420 353 449 619 or mail them at the address MOSER, a.s., Kpt. Jaroše 46/19, 360 06 Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic.


The third factory producing this quallity of glass was Mayers Neffe.

I rcvd email from Moser today, I forgot I had resized the pictures to post here...ugh!  I am going to re-send the pics to them to confirm but here is what they said:

Dear Kathy
 
Thank you for contacting Moser customer service.
The pictures are unfortunately very small for the exact identification, nevertheless our specialists assume it is Moser manufactured at the beginning of the last century.
We hope this information will be helpful to you.
 
With best regards,

MOSER, a.s.

Anyone have an idea or guess as to value??  Thanks again for all of your help!
Kathy
