Topic: Pair Opaline vases , amazing enamel work, Baccarat perhaps ??

[Andy]

I couldnt walk past these vases at a recent market, the quality of the enamel hand painted flowers is stunning, I cant stop gazing at them !  .
Who made them ??
Its White opaline glass, with a matt finish outside , shiny inside.
The flowers are different on each vase, and I've just noticed the design on the neck is different as well.
17 cm tall, 6 3/4 inches.
Flat matt bases, a vague shallow concave mark on one, less so on the other.
I'm thinking French perhaps, all ideas or help appreciated on these 2
Cheers
Andy

Managed a couple of better base shots .

I'm far from an expert, about as far as you can get actually but a search on Moser or Harrach maybe? Because of the detail of the flowers...

They may be English. That trompe l'oeil round the top reminds me of a bulb vase of Patricia's. I will check the book later

Thanks Ladies,
I've had a good look, haven't found anything very close, Harrach did lots of Milk glass, but
I'm wondering if Christine may be on the right track, shape wise, Webb have some close matches,
and i vaguely think the 'trompe l'oeil ' looked familiar from somewhere. Trick of the eye, 3d effect !

I'm leaning towards England now !
Christine, which book do you mean??

Patricia's bulb vase book

Have a look at Bristol glass if you're leaning toward English..told you I was no expert LOL

[Lustrousstone]

It's not Bristol glass; it's an American myth that anything painted is Bristol glass.

There is no manufacturer or even country for the bulb vase I was thinking of, sorry

we tentatively like to say "possibly from Sunderland, or from Bohemia, unless it is Legras" - we just don't know.
