Topic: unidentified glue chip vase

[2*pleese*u]

Here is a vase that is sure to confound the most knowledgeable art glass collector. I have been collecting for 15 years and it really frustrates me after 5 years of research, I still have not identified this one. the vase stands 12-1/2" tall with a 3-3/4" base and a 6" by 6" upper rim area at the shoulders. There is extensive wear to the base. there are no identifiable markings to the base by any means. the glass is heavy and thick and the foot of the vase is highly unusual. It is a opeac clear glass on the base area graduating into a green color towards the top. All corners are rounded off. It is essentially Square in shape from a birds eye view with the softened corners. the vase has a indent or pinch on all four sides. the upper vase opening is located at the top after the vase sides curve in level from the shoulder edges and is circular. the inside rim diameter is 4-1/8". The pattern or texture is a very consistent glue chip technique. Any help would be appreciated. The only two possibilities I can come up with are Pierre D'Avesn, France or Maurice Marinot France as well.  here is a link where I have this vase posted and you can see it.  Michael. http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/187422-unknown-fabulous-glue-chip-vase-art-nou

Interesting vase, I don't remember seeing anything like it before. Could you add your photos to this topic? They will be a permanent reference then.

My guts (for which I take no responsibility, sorry!  ) think this might be reasonably recent Polish.

It has absolutely nothing to do with Maurice Marinot. Sorry, I can't help more.

Can you be more specific other than Polish? New? Extensive wear to the base so this makes this a recent piece?

Dear John, Quite a confusing web site! I have not been here for quite along time. I would love to send a photo or two and did try to upload a couple of photos but the web site is saying it has to be a certain size and I do not know how to reduce the photos I have taken. Got any ideas? Michael.

Michael, we have lots of helpful info in the HELP forum, including several on how to create images to fit our size limits. Check this one out to start with: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,6522.0.html

if you can reduce your photos to 600 by 400 pixels they should fit the size requirements and upload hope this helps.

I'm ancient, the '80s were just yesterday.
Age-related wear can appear quite quickly on a piece that is moved around a lot, especially on crystal as it is soft.
Unfortuanately, there is not a great deal known about the masses of good quality glass produced in Poland over the last 20 odd years or so. They've just been busily making good quality glass, much of which was sold as "Krosno" but that is a very large land area where glassmaking takes place. We know almost nothing of the actual manufacturers and now, it's sold under a generic importing business called LSA.

I agree with Sue age wear on the foot does not mean a lot at all, I picked up two pieces today 1870's in date and look brand new, no wear, nothing.  My favourite coke glass that's been on here before, I think ten years old,  looks Georgian in date. It's all to do with weight, movement and use. Karlin Rushbrooke liked his four hole thing, very 1970's.
