Ok i have just worked out how to post photo,now i need to work on making them smaller,sorry :ooh:

This beauty is 26cm tall x 8cm across the base & quite heavy.
Reminded me of Geoffery Baxter's Bark effect but i could not find anything this big,any idea's.

Kat the normal way to get a good response is to post a good photo of the whole vase. :thup:  Also a clear photo of the base and another of the uper rim.  The finish of both will tell certain experts whether it is or is mot what they suspect.

I am not at all expert with this type of gless but I suspect you should be looking at Finnish sites such as

http://www.designlasi.com/en   Finnish Art Glass site
http://www.20thcenturyglass.com/glass_encyclopedia/scandinavian_glass/riihimaki_glass/riihimakiglass_home.htm   Riihimaki Glass
http://www.flickr.com/groups/811498@N25/pool/   Riihimaki Glass

and also Inn crystal which I believe is German.  Good luck it looks a lovely piece of glass - well found.

Thank you so much for your reply  :girlcheer:,i will put up another photo i have of the base.
Tomorrow i will put up a photo of the rim also as its getting late here & the lighting is not the best.

This is the base,vase has a slight tinge of yellow through in places.
Cheers for any help

Just another thought Kat.  Post one or two pieces and then wait for a week or so before the next lot.  Some of the board members find looking throught too many pieces a problem.  More im[portant you push people off the front page quickly - which in this category happens very easily anyway - so for a person to be well exposed to the expert mebers don't put up too much all at once.

This reminds me of OTK Glass, Japan.  I could be very wrong though, but here's a link to some on my Whitefriars "Wannabee" blog

A good descriptive subject line is always useful, too, as some people will not bother to look at posts without them. They are also important for the board's Search function, see here for why:

I've added a little to your original post subject to make it more descriptive.

Thanks again guys & girls

Ross thats a good tip,cheers
Anne,thank-you i will get it all at some stage

Vidrioguapo,its funny you should say Japan because i was looking through some threads & saw someone saying something about a ground base & highly polished as being Japanese or have i got that wrong?
Is that good or bad?
I will have alookie at the site.
