Blue Glass Vase - Please Identify
Greg.:
Just to add a little to this thread while I remember.
I think the murmurings of a possible Polish connection, stem from similar designs by Jan Sylwester Drost for the Zabkowice Glassworks in Poland. A picture of these designs can be seen in the below link of the 'culture Poland' website (image 4).
For reference the vases shown form part of the collection of the National Museum in Wrocław Poland.

These are Krosno glass I've got two and a couple of years ago I saw a labeled one.
Greg.:
Thank you for taking a look Chris.
Further to your post, looking online the only labelled Alsterbro examples I can seem to find are green versions, such as these:

Out of interest would you happen to know if the one shown in the below link is Krosno production / Alsterbro or possibly another maker altogether (slightly different rib count and size)

I suspect the recent Krosno examples are likely to have taken influence from Jan Sylwester Drost's original designs.

I'll put a pick of the two I have, I feel the smaler maybe older and looks like Rachael's, I'm in Venice at the minute and it's stuffed full of Chinese glass, I get the feeling things are really going to get difficult for all of us in the future, the labelled amber one I saw had a Krosno label on it, I did not buy it as I already had two which are going up for sale when I get back so fingers crossed they might get a positive i d.
After spending today in Murano it's also has a lot of Chinese glass it's either sad or a modern reflection on mass produced goods, you can walk around Murano in about an hour so how on earth could they produce tens of thousands of pieces of glass yearly.

Thanks Chris, look forward to the pics.
Hope you enjoy your trip. :)
