Topic: Modern vase, trailed decoration? ID = Jane Charles Studio Glass

[Szymon]

Has anyone seen similar piece before? It looks blown with polished pontil. I'm guessing the decoration was made by pouring molten glass during blowing but any suggestions regarding technique would be welcome. I'm assuming this is modern piece by studio artist rather than mass produced. It is quite heavy and measures just over 4 3/4'' (12.4cm) tall and is about 7 1/4'' (18.8cm) wide at the rim.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

The ground but not polished bottom points at China again, sorry.

[Szymon]

No need to apologise  I'm happy to learn, I didn't pay much at and didn't have high hopes for it but I found the decor intriguing. Still nice decorative piece.

The style and colours don't. UK studio glass often has unpolished bottoms

those 'inky' looking colours on the surface only, could possibly be produced by acid staining - Romania and Israel  -  as Ivo has pointed out before.......Reuven and Ilanit maybe ?

[Szymon]

That is the common thing with studio pieces, both in glass and pottery. If unmarked and without the label you really need to be familiar with the style to get the id right. Or if it's made in China it will just give a headache 

[Lustrousstone]

It's not surface staining either; it's applied colour to hot glass.

[Szymon]

I would say Lustrousstone you're right. The layer of the colours is quite thick in some places and goes quite a bit into the body what would suggest that technique. That was what I meant by trailing on the first place.

o.k. back to sleep for me then

Here are two British studio vases the blue one by Nick Orsler and the other by Siddy Langley both with unpolished rough bases.
