Topic: Tall pressed vase with wavy lines - Polish? Sklo?

[Deb]

Could this be a Drost vase? - I've seen some similar but nothing quite like this. 9.5" tall, optical with wavy lines, the base finished like Sklo Union pieces. Thanks, Deb

Thanks for the link yesvil - looks like this one will remain a mystery for now!

My feeling is that it's Polish, only because I see quite a few of them here.  Then again, that's hardly any proof. :usd:

P.S. In the other link, this 'Dusan' has got another vase which is 100% Polish in his Czech pressed glass album http://picasaweb.google.com/exat53/PreGlasTschechoslowakei#5159804941667117330 so he does make the occassional mistake.  He's got a wonderful collection, though.

I agree that the pattern has a lot of similarities to what I've seen described as Jan Drost for Zabkowice... Of course, it could be simply 'inspired by'?
