Topic: green glass vase

[walking dead fan]

Does anyone have any idea if this vase has any value? It has enameled morning glories on it, but when looking at it through an eye loop it shows what looks like a bunch of glass dots on the flowers. It's relatively heavy, has no markings/dates and a somewhat sharp rim. Also has a slightly concave bottom.

hello and welcome to the GMB

regret to say that this forum doesn't discuss values  -  apart from the fact that such things are known to come and go with fashion, there is the obvious aspect that different people have different ideas as to what something is worth.

Must say I'm a big fan of the Ipomoea group - those blues are mind blowing (so apparently is the plant when ingested ) - but unfortunately I can't help with your glass.
There is a type of clear and coloured decoration called 'coralene' which shows as very small pieces of glass fused to the main body to create shapes and patterns, but am sure this isn't 'coralene', and enamelling on glass goes back a long way and was used probably in most countries, so this on its own will not help.
Other than that I've no idea, but fingers crossed someone might be able to help.         From where did you source the piece - an estate sale perhaps?

Hi Paul,

I got this from an estate sale along with some bone china, porcelain dolls and brass pieces. Most of the items have markings so they were easy to research. Unfortunately, this is the only piece that I can't find any info on. I'll just have to keep trying. Thanks for your response!

your comments regarding the 'sharp rim', plus the enamelled decoration, might just possibly suggest this piece started life in eastern Europe some time around the 1960 - 70 period.
Czechoslovakia and Romania have been sources for enamel decorated glass - as tourist pieces - and the ground/polished top rim is a feature typical of Continental European pieces - as opposed to the U.K., for example.

This is just my suggestion of course, and I doubt that you are going to really nail this one, unfortunately.

I would add to Paul's serious doubts as to whether this could ever be identified.
It's a decorative piece, with some little age. It's not worth a lot, but I'm sure somebody would like it.

A close up of the decor might help but it sounds like a screen print combined with hand enamelling

Thanks everyone for the comments! I'll be posting another in just a sec.
