Topic: Teardrop Shaped Studio Glass Vase - JK '83

[eglass]

I realize this is a shot in the dark since there are SO MANY art glass studios out there - but seeing the breadth of knowledge on this board, it's worth that shot!

This vase stands about 7" tall, and 4" diameter widest. Kind of a "frothy" technique in the glass on the lower part, and then a lacy type of design continuing up to the top. The glass is thick and clear, it's really a nice looking piece. It's marked with maybe a J and either a K or R, and the number 83. Any thoughts welcome!

Hi folks!

I still have this piece, and have taken what I think are better photos of it - see below.

I really think Scandinavian, but what would I call this technique? Many thanks again for a little help if possible.
