Handkerchief Vase Thread - Not Italian

Hi Sue,

The photo is deceptive, but it does only have four points (otherwise the blank would have been 5-sided). I know that Bagley made handkerchief vases (the Bagley Glass book has an excellent photo of a worker with an elaborate tool being used to push the flat glass over the former) but wasn't aware of Davidsons vases. But I'm sure this is rolled glass so would still veer towards it being Chance.

Edit: Meant to say; I don't think this is ruby-flashed either, but single colour glass.

Here is a link to website with a Bischoff Handkerchief Vase – they called it a 'Nappy Vase'

I think USA companies did a few Handkerchief Vases

Just spotted this irridescent "blue carnival glass" handkerchief vase on eBay.  Its rather pretty and unusual.  Seller's not too sure of origins.

Very interesting, Anne  8)  

But as the listing is in the USA I imagine it derived from a company there or is a one-off student piece. The iridescent finish is certainly odd though. I know a few US-based comapnies that produced 'bent' glass: Houze and US Art Bent Glass Co. for the domestic market, although there are several producing for the industrial sector, like Standard Bent Glass Corporation.

Here's a new piece I've acquired.  It's a brown gingham....BUT.....the brown stripes are vertical and not the usual horizontal
