Polish (?) bust vase - Jozefina, Krosno?
« on: April 19, 2012, 09:26:37 PM »
Found on a flea market today.

It's heavy like the thicker heavier pieces of Jozefina,  Stands about 10" high.

China probably. It looks very similar to the handbags and purses you see

I thought that may also be a possibility. Have I made a boob again? It has indications of both. But the pontil is very much saying Poland to me.

I've seen them but not bought. Do they have a polished pontil?

I never got myself close enough to find out what the pontil mark looks like.  ;D

However, I do keep a close eye on the way things are finished and the techniques coming out from the far east when I can, by peering at the stuff for sale in TKMaxx.

The finishes are improving drastically - properly polished bases and polished pontil marks.

I drop in TKMaxx occasionally. Some is good, some bad - just like always.

I just googled those handbags, £22 and  £20 but no longer available. I guess in 20m years time they will be collectible. They were sold alongside Dartington, LSA, Holmegaard ... at Dotmaison. Didn't spot my Bust vase though...
