Topic: UNUSUAL HANGING ART GLASS VASE - who?

[singingyamada]

I am sorry wasnt meaning to offend.  it just that cause we are down here we do get a lot of stuff from Asia. 
I have a feeling it possibly started off as a vase.  I have fallen in love with Czech glass thanks to mark hill. 
Oh if I cold have the time I lived in again..........however......

If you want to meet me at the selling and buying thread thats oK

hard to say whether it was made to hang or to stand, without seeing catalogues. If we could find out more about Japanese glass, it would definitely become more collectable. It had a style of its own, although obviously influenced by Murano and Czechoslovakian glass.

That's interesting, I'll doo some cruising tomorrow on the internet. Thanks :thup:

No offence taken. I agree cathy. Would be interesting if a book on Japanese Glass came out. I would be first in line for it!

About as good as I can get it

It needs someone who can speak Japanese, who can travel there, contact companies and unearth catalogues. My brother is fluent in Japanese and lives there, but completely uninterested, unfortunately.
