Green 8" bud or stem vase
« on: September 19, 2011, 07:00:46 PM »
I have this vase which I obtained alongside three Riihimaki pieces but I don't know if this one is of that origin as I can't find this style in any design listing for Riihimaki.  
The vase is 8 inches (203mm) tall and 3ΒΌ inches (82mm) at widest part.
Please can anyone help me by telling where, and by who, you think this was manufactured...also date when you think it would have been made?
Thank you for any information you may be able to offer.

I am not certain but this glass looks like Anchor Hocking, or Fire King forest green glass. I also saw this color on some Napco pieces. Wish I could have more certain information for you.  :X:

100% not Riihimaki. Empoli may be worth exploring.
