Is this Vase Scandinavian or A N Other ???
« on: February 20, 2011, 02:51:47 PM »
Hi You Good People of GMB
Once again I call upon all of you with superior knowledge for some help in identifying this piece of glass. I have here this vase which stands at 6" high , is encased in a clear with a green inner core , which is highlghted with a fizz of frosty air bubbles , it has a clear base which has a hole and a formed bubble interior , it looks like it could be an opening for a small burner ??? I have included a base shot ... I will thank you all now for any information regarding this item , I am looking to sell this piece so any info would be gratefully recieved ..Regards Roy (artyroy)

Hi John
Thanks for the rapid reply , the top is finished in a smooth ground finish which shows the clear and the green glass , I have attached a top photo now but it does not do the piece justice ,,, thank you Roy

Are they definitely air bubbles and not some sort of white matter?

Questions, questions.

I too think it is probably and oil lamp - that is the hemisphere ought to be on top.  There are clear glass versions of this marketed as "Krosno" from Poland that I have often seen here in Melbourne.  I think "Krosno" may be from the same stable as "Josefina/Jozefina" glass also marketed here.

Jozefina Glass and Krosno Glass are not the same. They just happen to be in the same place

Thanks for clarifying that Christine.  I suspect they have the same importer here in Melbourne.

Definitely the upside down oil lamp. It has a little glass or metal ring with a wick through it which rests on the small opening. Made by one of the Polish companies - I don't know which one.
