Knobbly vase help
« on: December 22, 2015, 05:01:20 PM »
I have this strange vase with nipples all around. Has a rim similar to that of a castle wall. Has a flat smooth base and measures 24cm tall.
Any help welcome

Probably Chinese, sold recently in TK Maxx and no doubt elsewhere.

Agreed. I've seen them in TKMaxx myself.
A very nice vase for using, without having to worry about it. :)

agreed probably Chinese.
What is the quality like btw?
I saw one in coloured glass at my local car boot - v. large, awful quality though.

Seems to be constructed well with a good weight. Reminded me of a nipple vase designed by Pavel Panek!
