Topic: Knobbly tall Emerald green vase - smooth pontil

[heartofsklo]

I have looked at Sklo union and Whitefriars but I have not seen anything that has convinced me as yet as a definite match.

The vase is a deep emerald green, measures 23cm tall and the base has a smooth pontil indentation mark.

Sklo Union is pressed glass in the main, so no point in looking there.

Its not Whitefriars for sure, Wolfie

Another potential Japanese?

It looks vaguely familiar to me - Czech I think, by Jan Beranek.  I have certainly got something very similar, somewhere in my cluttered house!

That was my first hunch, I know the base is not typical but seem to remember something about these being skrdlovice in the past. I will look still closer into Jan Beranek at skrdlovice. Thanks

Edit - Emmi's blog has them  as Jan Beranek for Skrdlovice.

I would think not Skrdlovice, and not Czech.
Sorry, no further help. Maybe try to research the Japan idea?

Surely not Skrdlovice. No way, never...

I have maintained probably not Czech for a long time. I bought one of these in the UK once. I think they are circa 1950. Where bought, if given a large enough sample, can be indicative. This vase has proven elusive for a while! Pretty good quality, suggesting an established company. Never seen another colour though, with the coin sized polished pontil rod mark.... building up the colours available can help a bit too, with factory indication.... Interesting piece.

bOBA, as you say, the quality is there for these to be a good maker. I wonder if this base style was a particular buyers specific request, you never know sometimes.
