whoops forget to add.....
When I look at 20 century glass there Wayne......this (almost) looks like the Boske Sklo crossed with *Splashes* of Gold Gilt like you also have there on your page on the Cylindrical ones.
Might this be (???) Splashed Gold Gilt on this? Ever seen something like that. I do not know how to describe it -- but it looks pretty much like Gold Gilt on it...
:huh:
Wayne:
Sorry Rose, I just had a closer look at your pics, and I see what you mean about the gold, it does look like gold gilt painted on, something I've never seen before with these vases, quite interesting! The "spashed" effect might just be the result of the gold wearing off over time, maybe once it was completely covered in gold gilt!
Wayne:
Looking at Marks book again, the vases are mould blown, and have "a full or partial impressed cross on the base which was left by the four part moulds used".
You're right the shape is a bit different, but I'm still pretty convinced it's Borske. Can't help with the label I'm afraid, I've never seen it before.

Thanks Wayne (and Astrid):
Never thought of that -- maybe it once was all covered with gold gilt.....but then you would think that the bumps would be the first place it would wear off....as the bumps would be likely to be exposed more (IMHO).
I did find under google, about and early Moser label having a M in a shield with a crown on top --- but not sure IF this has anything to do with anything.
I am going to take a look to see IF the Gold scratches a bit.....only in a tiny bottom section.
I was not sure if this was pressed, but makes sense to be Mould Blown and having partial impressed cross on the base......will keep hunting here too...
....Might have to catch a few :sleep: here, as it is almost 5:00 a.m. here........and I have not hit the hay yet!!!
Wayne:
It sounds like Astrid is onto something with the Borske - Moser link, so it could be worth emailing them like she suggests. Maybe Jindrich will know more too.
Your golden vase is certainly very Christmassy anyway, it goes well with those baubles! :)
