« on: August 17, 2011, 03:50:20 PM »
hi, hoping for any info on this vase, amber colourway, measures 6ins x 5ins x2ins, heavy for size, base has some age related wear. Slightly raised shoulders  to vase and base looks to have been polished, thanks for any info, always appreciated.

Got a feeling these are modern, seen one very similar in a local charity shop a few weeks ago.

There is no telling age from wear.

I think these are modern Polish. I had one arrive which I bought out of curiosity a while ago, but it's far more interesting seeing it complete! http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-4318

thanks for comment anne, that is quite interesting as the base seems a cross between a ground base and a birdbath base so could well be, sorry your vase ended up like it did thanks eric
