Topic: Small but heavy smoky sculptural vase... help with origin, please

How about Stromberg? only a guess tho because of shape and colour , but not sure about concave base .

All the Stromberg I know of is of a very recognizable pale blue clear crystal. I have no idea if they manufactured smoke coloured pieces at any time.

Anik I do not believe it to be Stromberg - they seemed to mark well and are mainly pale blue or clear - but not always.  I have crackeld glass vase with a greenish tinge.

My "Gut" feeling is that it may be from a Czech source - very fluid designs seem to be a specialty of some Czech designers.

The colour seems quite Danish but I am would expect someone like Peter Harder to have commented if that were so.

The Journal of the Glass Association volume 8 is full of that smoke coloured glass in the Elfverson catalogue of Stromberg glass
most unsigned  particularly the Dunne Cooke items  but mine is out on loan at the moment .
 Does anyone else have it , how about you Nigel ?   It was just a tiny inkling . :cry:

Thank you for your replies. I thought Czech could have been a possibility, but only because I bought it at the market from a Slovakian man who only had Czech pieces.  I've googled and re-googled all the suggestions, but am still clueless.

One last try... thank you.
