Topic: Purple Glass Bottle/Vase. Help Who Made It Please?

[BJB]

Hi All,

I got this purple bottle/vase with a job lot the other day, and I am a bit stumped as to who may have made it.

It is lovely quality but the glass is very fine, very similar to the soda glass made by Whitefriars in the 1950's.

I did wonder if it is Holmegaard, and I am sure I have seen something like it somewhere, but I just can't put my finger on the memory or book  

Hope you can help,

Not Holmegaard. Can't really help beyond that, although I imagine from the rim shape that it might once have had a shafted ball-shaped stopper.

Hi Nic,

Many thanks for letting me know it wasn't Holmegaard, I can stop looking in my Scandinavian glass books now. You know how it is when you get an idea, even if you really know deep down its wrong!

I don't think it had a stopper as there is no wear to the neck, but I know that doesn't always mean there wasn't a loose fitting one.

 It came with a large mixed lot including Loetz, Fenton, some lovely Victorian and Art Deco glass, so I thought it might be by a "maker" rather than a more modern Polish or Chinese piece.

Many thanks
Barbara
