Topic: Clear Heavy Vase -- Cuts, dashes, and grooves ??

[antiquerose123]

 :hi:  I bought this clear glass vase.  It was in a box of stuff that I had bought for $2.  Not sure if this is anything, or if old -- but it seems to have a lot of character to it with the design of cuts, dashes, and the grooves.  Not sure how else to describe it.  Heavy, bit of a flared opening....

Thanks for your help  :kissy:

Looks like crystal,difficult to tell,can you see any mould lines?if so it's not.If it is crystal then nice find,might be hard to say who made it unless it's signed

** Just a Polite Bump from Last Year **

 :X: Any New ideas?  The reason I bumped this is because of the site/link Dirk had posted on another Topic.  Wonder if this might be related to anything there, or NOT???   Just throwing this out there.......?

Hello Rose,

just discovered your topic. If "it´s something" does not depend on the company, who produced it;
in my opinion it just depends on the purity of the raw glass, the brilliance of the crystal after the acid-polishing-process and of course the
complexity of the cutting-structure and accuracy of the hand-cutting-process of the different craftsmen, who worked with this piece.
To find out, who made the mould, it´s importand to have the exact meassures; I think almost every european producer of hand cut crystal had a
variety of different X-Vases in his collection. As far as one can tell from your pictures, the brilliance and quality of glass look nice and it´s definately hand cut.
Even so the structure of the cutting is not very compex, it´s still unusual and well-balanced (to me). So I would say, "it´s something".

Since you where referring to my glass-pages, here are just two examples of different X-Vases from Hessenglas and Pochmann.
(in both cases the raw-crystal came from Hessenglas and in both cases the acid-polishing was made by Walter Ullmann) You piece´s origin is
definately not from Hessenglas, because the X-shape of HG-Vases is more pronounced as you can see.

Please excuse my english...
