Orange mottled vase with a 'V' carved in the base
Glasshound:
definitely NOT Ikora..the base would be polished with no pontil....the handles look "Italian" to me...this is a "cluthra" vase....I say it's contemporary.... ;D

Blair, thank you for the input :)
So it's most probably not Ikora... there go all my romantic visions of a young glassmaker learning the trade and turning out this monstrousity before deciding he should become a shoe-shine boy or something that doesn't require artistic talent. ;D
But seriously, I really don't think this vase is 'contemporary' -- maybe it depends what you mean by the word.
I have my doubts that this vase was made within the last 20 years... it doesn't seem to be the right style for a 'contemporary' piece. :-\

Not necessarily; this piece has a ground base and a pontil mark

I guess I should of said "a polished base or a polished pontil"...I've never seen an Ikora vase with a pontil scar...as far as "contemporary" goes...i think it was made in the past 25 years....the base seems to have little or no wear....

Hi,
I just thought I'd add that the base has got alot of wear in one 3cm x 1cm spot... the vase really doesn't sit flush, so only that point rubs against the surface.
Aha, also, the outside of the vase is smooth, but the inside is lumpy-bumpy. I can feel the air bubbles.
Again, I appreciate the input!
