Topic: request for id for cased blue vase - possibly Czech?

[Lustrousstone]

Anita - I'm surprised you should ask if it glows

That's a little harsh; I thought it was blue and green too!

But 'China'.........no never, the base is too old looking for that

There's been a glass industry in China for a very long time!!

The trouble with hot worked glass of this type is that the pieces without any specific defining characteristics all look similar wherever they come from and many workers worldwide have spent time being trained in Murano or working with someone who has.

Jindrich only says that it doesn't look Czech to him, so I don't think it's entirely ruled out. The one thing I think we can cross off is modern Chinese.

Paul, I've read your posts long enough to know that you post with a smile. If you are really going on vacation, I hope you have a nice trip. I've spent some time looking for your vase because I am curious. I have a feeling it is one of those vases that might take a long time if it ever gets an attribution.

thanks Anita - you mean to say that you actually read the rubbish I write ....and no, I'm not going on holiday, I just felt a little p......  off at the time.     You see, I'm always being misunderstood in life   -  but you understand me, (Lustrousstone doesn't) I can tell that, shall you and I run away together .          You may well be correct that this is just one of those pieces that whilst impressive, will never get an attribution, although I won't mind too much, as it is very attractive, and as I have already said looks really stunning in the morning sunlight.   I'd put my shirt on the fact that this is 1950 - 60 somewhere, and a good weight to hit burglars with
