And here are the four different sizes I have.  From left to right:
1) 8"h x 11:w
2) 6.5h x 9"w
3) 5"h x 7"w
4) 4"h x 6"wide ( all approx. as you know difficult to measure accurately.

Photo not brilliant, but you can see the size differences

And then there's the intaglio types.  Most beautiful of all I think.  I posted ione on here a few months ago.  Emmi

Anne these are fantastic photos

The Chance Bros. Handkerchief vases are excellent

The Bagley, Mdina, Muurla, and other vases are all exactly what I wished for this thread, showing Chance and Handkerchief vases by other manufacturers other than Italian

I forgot about 'Bagley Jetique' they did these in various sizes, I seem to remember seeing a very large one, they look almost ceramic

Great to see that different style Muurla, like Venini they possibly varied the form a great deal

I like your fluorescent very large Handkerchief vase, I wonder about its maker and date

I have two ceramic Handkerchief vases by UK makers, not relevant to this thread unfortunately - they are 1960s and show how the form was popular in many materials

Here is a vase I posted on the Murano board but really belongs here, it was attributed to Czech 1970s on that board I think - maker unknown, and it does have an old paper label saying ‘Foreign’

Thanks again, your post has really made this thread

Lovely photos Emmi and good research on the sizes, the 8" / 11" wide are hard to come across and are like consume so much space

I think the Intaglio cut or flashed are some of the most beautiful, can you get a better picture to post

I do like the plain & textured ones as well, I get an ID and history on 'Aqualux Double Rolled', I think the striated textured vases are also Aqualux (type of glass slightly thicker than later versions) but have they an actual name like 'Double Rolled'?

Dear Guest, not sure if you wanted a picture of the intaglio....but here it is anyway!!

It is standing on a matching tray.

Anne E.B.:
That's a real beauty Emmi :P   Don't see many of those about and I'm sure they must be extremely collectable.  Did they make other matching items?  Thanks for the picture of the black and white too.  I wonder if Chance handkerchief pattern designs reflected textile designs of the time?  Seems to me that they might well have.

Adam -  the large fluorescent one wasn't quality glass.  However it looked amazing in sunlight and shone like Billy-O.  I always felt that it was perhaps Chinese, but have never seen anything like it before, or since to substantiate that suspicion.  Your 70s Czech one I have seen before, but felt that these were possibly Chinese.  I think I may have seen one in a charity shop with its sticker on some time in the past.  I remember thinking that they were asking Murano prices for a Chinese piece, but I could be wrong.  I'll check back to see if I have a labelled picture.

Going off-glass, have you seen these made in clear perspex?  I've come across a couple in my travels and  I did have one once, but it was easily scratched.  I was never sure if it was made for sale generally, or whether it was someone's school Design & Technology project :roll:

Regards - Anne E.B. :wink:
