Topic: ...need help with a vase!

[Christian]

hello,

can anybody help me with this blue vase?
i bought it in germany, but from which company is it and how old?

thank you very much...

that looks like a possible Wiktor Berndt vase to me.
I'll have a look round and see what I can find for you.

hi flying free,

thanks very much for your conjecture.

i was looking in the web for ´Wiktor Berndt` and i found one picture,
the vase is really very similar!

did you found something or does anyone has other ideas?

thanks...

My bet is on Spanish, not on Berndt. In Spain in the 1970s 1980s the technique (pioneered by Majorelle, used by Berndt later) was revived to make long drink slash Sangria services and hall lamps to go with Spanish restaurant style. The metal is course and rusty, not neatly designed as Berndt did.

hello ivo,

thank you very much!

that`s right, the openings are not neatly designed or from good quality.

do you have a web-source for me to get more informations?

kind regards...

I suspect that several makers have been responsible for these types of wares, they vary in quality too. I would agree that yours is not from Wiktor Berndt and Flygsfors.
