I bought this today in a charity shop, I know nothing about cloud glass really. I was going to sell it, but it's not a wildly valuable item is it? And I think it's quite a common colour? So, if it's not worth very much, I'll keep it and use it I think.

Soooo, erm...just checking it's not worth too much to use really. :oops:

Oh, it's 10" tall btw.

Oooh lucky you! It's Davidson orange cloud glass 279 vase - (not showing off - its on the front of my 'Davidson Glass a history' by Chris and Val stewart).

Doh! I'm sure you knew that anyway :roll:

Worth checking out eBay for prices.

Orange? It looks kind of tortoiseshell to me. I really know nothing about this type of glass. :x

Go and have a look at Chris and Val Stewart's site. It's probably worth more than you think. They stopped making this size in 1938 for a start. http://www.cloudglass.com/CatInt.htm

May be amber cloud. (must get my eyes tested :shock: ) It says amber cloud was introduced in 1928, and these vases came in 6", 8" and 10" size.

Thanks Christine, I accidently stumbled on that site without knowing quite how good it was earlier! I'm glad I went back and had another look.

Thanks Anne, mine vase must be quite old then.

It looks very 'at home' in my house, which is odd because it's nothing like anything else I possess! I'm going to keep it.
