I saw-and di not buy-a very heavy vase about 6" of rectangular shape. It was cased in clear and had a textured pattern running down the front in waves. Base was engraved JC or JG and a number. On ebay there is a piece of cased glass like Holmegaard white cased in orange and the seller says it has a label JC Sweden. Any ideas please, I can't seem to track it down.

Tigerchips:
funnily enough, I had my eyes on that vase the other day and was having the same problem of identifying it.  :lol:

Ivo:

I also saw a piece like this, but shaped a bit like a taller and thinner version of a WF 'banjo' vase, yesterday at an antique centre.  It, too, had the initials JG and a number engraved on the bottom.  

I was very tempted to buy it, however I think it had some damage.  It was discoloured inside, and it was not possible to see if this was just dirt, scale or real water-damage.  Also, it had all four corners of the base angled, as if they had been ground down to disguise a chip on one or more.  At least, that was what it looked like to me  :? Does anyone know if this shape of vase would have had angled corners, or were my suspicions correct?  

I really did like it, and nearly bought it anyway, but that water staining ....  :x :( It really ruined the wonderful clarity of the glass and the sparkling effect of the pattern and I didn't want to risk disappointment if it didn't come out.  Why do people have to put water in beautiful vases?  :evil:  :evil:  :evil:

Any idea what a perfect one might be worth?  It might help me to decide whether to go back and see if I can haggle the price down   :wink:
