Topic: Sklo Union maybe ?

[chriscooper]

Hi, to be honest it's 1 of about 25 items (mostly Whitefriars) I have bought over the last week or so, liked the colour, the vertical lines on one side and the horizontal on the other, the seller told me a couple of people had told him it was Sklo, so just put it up on here hoping if it was a known piece it would be easy to get confirmation. The base has an edge the same width as the rim, the pontil mark is oval and covers about 3/4 of the base and has definite age related wear, sorry for throwing you Paul, but at that point I had not really had a good look at it, will post a picture of the base.
Thanks Chris

As Paul said, it does have the feel of Drost's work:  http://www.sklounion.com/NotSkloUnion.html

See the green vase (yeah, that's my vase in the photo which I gave to Marcus)

Max - that's the one that Mark Hill was selling (the green one in the centre of your link) - the vase in this thread and the one in your link are actually very different aren't they - sorry for the confusion!

Oh right!  Well, big UP to Paul for catching on so quickly!  :thup:  Thanks for sorting it out Pip  :hiclp:

I flipping love that green vase.  It's got horizontal ribs on the outside and VERTICAL ribs on the inside.  It's a great piece of glass.

Hi, just wondering if you ever pinned down the manufacturer/date of the green vase ? Have a chance of buying a set of three but unsure of age.
Thanks,
Andy.

I think modern Polish is most likely.

I'm pretty sure that's a Lindshammar vase by Gunnar Ander. I've been researching an amber one about a year ago and found a labeled one but google doesn't find anything useful.
