Topic: Bubbly crackle vase, could it be WMF and Ikora?

[glassobsessed]

It is fractionally wider at 16.5cm than it is tall, thickish glass so quite substantial, snapped pontil mark. I have wondered about Loetz (schaumglas), Monart and Leerdam but Ikora somehow seemed much closer, any ideas?

"Something Swedish perhaps Johansfors" jumps to my dithery mind but i could not be sure - and you would not want me to...

Good point Ivo (the Johansfors bit), in a similar vein Norwegian and Benny M...

I briefly wondered Horst Tusselman, if there are inclusions in it...

Reminds me - a little - of my Björkshult bowl:

Snapped pontil mark as well...

Interestingly, my first thoughts were also Scandinavian, although not sure if its the Hoglund type shape that's leading me down that road or not.....

Continuing the Norwegian theme, also reminds me a little of this piece produced by Lillehammer Glasshytte. Although I think the pontil mark was snapped and then heat treated.

Wow fantastic, thanks all.

The consensus for the green version was Björkshult and along with your bowl Michael and two other in this bubbly blue with labels that google throws up I think you have it.  Scroll down for a cylinder vase: http://www.aletorpantik.se/products.asp?page=37#

By odd coincidence I also have this and I think they could be siblings.
