Oh no, Helga, you shouldn't think that way!  You posted these yesterday... just because you haven't yet had a reply, it most certainly doesn't mean you've got junk.  Please give board members time.  :kissy:

P.S. Since the vases are different, you should post each in a separate thread, and provide a very good shot of the base.

Hello Helga,  Anik is right,  some people only pop in to the board on a weekly basis, and a lot of people go away for the weekend or are bust Christmas shopping......But I think it might be best to list them separately, otherwise if they are from different countries,  which category will they finally end up in?

haha yes, I see.

I will make another post for the lilac one, I have kind of decided that the green one is boring with its weird unpolished foot  :ac1:


Thanks

Hi Helga

These are swung vases, which were popular in the US. Try searching on 'swung vases', and L.E. Smith, Fenton, Pilgrim, Viking, Tiffin and fostoria. That's all I can tell you, but it might give you somewhere to start.
