newer glass vase Scottish or Tuesday mornings?
« on: November 23, 2009, 12:23:36 AM »
I bought this vase because it was nearly free and attractive but I don't know much about this kind of glass. it's very heavy and it looks like it had a snap pontil.

it's got that cluthra bubble look. this one reminds me of waves. ( I've been following young Jessica Watsons blog and spent about two hours recently watching sailboats try to round the cape horn on youtube so I have waves on the mind)

I would say Scotland is a bit too far North.

p.s. Cluthra is US, Steuben. Clutha was Scottish and bubbles are more like Cluthra than Clutha.

well I am 99.9 percent sure it's not Steuben. the bubbles definitely look a lot like the Steuben cluthra but unfortunately it isn't that :)

I'll chime in and say that you can be 100% sure it is not Steuben.
I have been told that glass is my mistress......

I prefer never to claim absolute certainty of anything that I haven't known from conception to end. too many variables in life.

 99.9 percent sure is pretty absolute to my way of thinking,  but you never know, maybe one of the workers got really drunk and tried to make something and this is the inferior result. but the odds of that are amazingly low.   ;D 

there might be flying pigs too. I am 99.9 percent sure that there aren't pigs with wings that are capable of flight. but there might be some mad man with a laboratory in the hills somewhere who has succeeded in some vile experiments..
