Handkerchief Vase Thread - Not Italian
Anonymous:
Anne - I think Chinese was also mentioned for the block based vase I posted, good possibility, it is so well made with a ground concave pontil and very fine good layers, shows not all Chinese was quickly or roughly made
Emmi, what a great picture for this thread, I was thinking of the ruby flashed vase seen in Millers, your white intaglio with matching dish is indeed top of the range in my mind, the man hours it must have taken finishing a piece like this must make it rarer than most
I love the matching tray, throws up the question how many other vases had matching trays?

Here's another Chance handkerchief vase bought this morning. Quite a big one at 6" high and almost 9" at its widest. I haven't seen this transfer print Fleur-de-Ly design before.

I'm still looking out for one like Emmi's beautiful intaglio design :shock:

That is really stunning, I haven't seen that design before EVER! Lucky you!And a great size!
My lovely Intaglio set (tray and large vase) may have to be re-homed at some time, as I am seriously running out of space - my Whitefriars collection is taking over now. Or maybe I will have to move to a larger house..what's a girl to do? Emmi

Hi Anne
I love your Fleur-de-Lys design vase - it is just what the doctor ordered to keep this thread alive.
Exciting, I have never seen this pattern before; the colours are so well balanced.
I know David is a great enthusiast and has a better knowledge than me of the Chance Handkerchief Vase. As you say Anne I hope he looks in as well and gives his comments.
I agree about the display and storage of these larger vases. There is no other glass item I find as hard to display in a row or group, they seem to grow in size all of a sudden LOL, also they are a nightmare to store being so delicate.
But it's worth it - I seem to see a new pattern (to me) every week or so now and am glad people are doing research on them. I can only wonder how many variations were actually produced. I get the feeling that some must have been made in much smaller runs and over shorter time periods than others, also that they produced special editions for retailers or exporters - time will tell

Glass collecting is a bit like waiting for a bus :!: You wait for ages and nothing happens. Suddenly, three turn up at once :roll:
So here's my second (third still to come :P ) bought since last weekend. Its the same as Emmi's pop-art version. I've nicknamed this one my "Bridget Riley" bowl - its 4" high.
