Topic: Bowl? Vase? Frosted? What?

[cubby01]

I think I'd call this a vase but searching for bowl seems to turn up more that look kinda like it.  

And it has a coating on it.  Frosted?  It's a bit iridescent.  It's on both inside and outside although seems a slightly different texture between the two.  It's not coated on the base.  

7 inches across the rim.  4-3/4 inches tall.

I think it's at least earlier than mid-century but no real basis.  Any help?

Sleep well Keith knowing you're brain cells are still firing on all synapses  :thup:  That was certainly enough a tip to turn up the technique and find similar bowls in web searches.

In looking at stretch glass bowls and vases from the various makers I think this one is perhaps US Glass / Tiffen #179 Vase.  Would be great if someone can confirm that and give an approximate date.

Way cool.  -Buck

It looks like a Tiffin 15179 sweet pea vase. Don't know what the colour/finish is though

Thanks Cristine.  So I came up with #179 and you came up with 15179.  Must be something with a 179 in it 

The iridescent finish is fairly colorless or whiteish.  One stretch glass collector site call US Glass / Tiffin's implementation of this finish 'Crystal'.  (Other companies versions go by different names, ie something pearl or pearl something.)

Thanks for your help.

The one I showed is a definite ID, the previous picture is an Amberina one in the same pattern number. This shows the crystal satin finish

Hi all,
I'm the Tiffin editor for chatabout and these pieces drive me bonkers! lol  The vase looks close to 15179 or 179 but the foot is a little bit different and I'm not finding any stretch glass in the books, they might be there though!  The other company I would suggest is Northwood, I know they did stretch glass and they made similar items...both companies were doing this shape in the 1930's.
