Topic: Help please on a new puchase......... Lollipop vase.

[Patrick]

Hi,
 Please could anyone point me to the maker of this 8.5 inch high vase. Lots of bubble streaming in the casing.

This picture is a close up...........

I don't think the pics provided by the seller are good enough for anybody to be positive, Patrick.
It might be best to wait until you actually have it and can take your own pics.

[WhatHo!]

Im sure if somebody has an similar vase this pic would be plenty good enough to recognise it

[WhatHo!]

Here is another pic, Im sure Patrick wont mind me putting it up.

I've seen all the pics provided by the seller in the auction, but some sort of image enhancing thing has been done, I suspect, because I cannot make out how the enamels are "working" together inside the pattern.

They go all blurry, despite the tiny bubbles in the casing all being quite obvious.

There are other makers who do things which are often mistaken for Earthtones, (for example, Besmo), I just cannot be sure about this particular piece.

I'm fairly confident it will be fine, and either Mdina or MDG, I just cannot see clearly enough to say so with 100% certainty.

Hi Sue,

Yes you were good enough to answer my questions before I bought it............  If it arrives before the glass fair I will bring it with the chalice for you to have a look at .

Best wishes,

Patrick.

It's location, it's complete shape, and the heat-finished rim all lead me to suspect it will be absolutely fine.

But perhaps it would be better to post a link to the auction here, rather than posting the seller's images, unless you have permission to post them? The board could get into copyright trouble.

I think when you see it it will look more like this?

Hi WhatHo,

Yes I think you have answered it...............   

The seller is happy with me using his pics..

Here is an UN-ENHANCED pic.

What about this piece? Also what does it say on the base, is that a date? 2007? What date is the date of this piece?
