This is a picture of one of my TKMaxx specials. It's Tarnowiec and I use it as a wastepaperbasket. I've posted this picture before, the vase contains the inside of a loo roll so you can get an idea of the size, (11"tall).

I'm still in chaos at home and unable to get any photography done for lack of space and access to all my bits!  :cry: :cry: :cry:

That's a real beauty Sue :P  - seems a shame to use it as a waste paper bin.  Tarnowiec (Poland) make some really huge pieces of glass - and really nice quality too.  I tried googling Tarnowiec but couldn't find out much about them.  I didn't know TKMaxx sold their products and wondered where they could be bought from - so thanks for that.  I bought mine second hand.  Its a huge vase weighing nearly 3kg.  It lives on the bathroom window because of the room it takes up :roll: .

Anne E.B. :wink:

I saw some Tarnowiec in Poland, but not much. I saw very little glass in Poland. I don't see as much in TKMaxx as I used to, but then, I don't get there as much as I used to - it got moved to an awkward spot for those of us who use public transport.

 :oops: I don't think it's a shame to use it the way I do - it gets a place to itself where it can be seen, without using up my shelf space, and it adds style to my cloakroom.

 :D Anne, wombling along, but "Homeward Bound" :D

Hi

I wanted to add this Holmegaard Handkerchief Vase by Per Lutkin in Sapphire Blue.

B&W scan from 'The Studio Year Book - Decorative Art - 1956-7 volume 46'  - pp100

These books are excellent filled with glass and porcelain and pottery

Notice the spelling Holmegaards Glasvaerk A / S





Keeping the thread alive :?  :)  :)

Another for this thread.

This is a strange one. Ruby glass, gilt on the rim and all the hallmarks of Chance. However, it is not a regular shape like other Chance vases (the highest point is 4", but all others are about 3½") and the wear on the base is minimal, although gilt looks aged. The thickness of glass is also not consistent and goes from 3.4mm down to 2.2! Sounds a bit anal, but Chance glass is made from rolled glass and is normally very accurate (1/8" or ~3mm).

There are also some matt areas on the inside of the folds, presumably made by the former, that I've never seen on Chance vases.

Possibly an earlier development model?
