Topic: Have i bought a Czech vase?

[davidfish1212]

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to help me in an ID for this vase. I bought this vase to add to my growing Czech vase collection, the vase is 9.5" high and very heavy. The base has a typical 'bird bath' base ( see i'm learning stuff of you guys already ) I would have posted more pics but cant get the size of the pics below the 125KB limit Grrrr :cry: Can any one tell me who the designer is or the factory ( i promise to buy Marcus's book as soon as i can afford it!!!!)
Slainte, David

Looks like a standard presssed vase from Arques, France

Thanks for the info Ivo, i guess i have the first piece of my 'New' French pressed glass collection!!!!!!!!!!! Hey Ho :thup:

Unfortunately the bird bath base has became over-associated with Sklo Union/Czech glass. It's not exclusive to Sklo Union glass and not all Sklo Union glass has it. Best to treat it as just one clue

Thanks Christine, I desided that the base (2) together with the six sided top of the vase which i thought looked similar to other Czech vases i'd seen (2) and got 4!!!!!!!! If only I could run purchases by you guys first, Slainte D
