Topic: Help in dating a Tulipiere? Please

Or at least that is what I think it is called 

It is 5.5" in height with a diameter of 6" The interior is ribbed.

It is filthy inside so it was difficult to photograph the inverted pontil, but I've done my best.

Photos attached and any help greatly appreciated. Will only let me post 4 photos, so will post the rest in as a reply.

hello Della  -  sorry, not a clue as to origin - know I've seen such things in the books somewhere, but can't for the moment remember where - quite likely it's Patricia's bulb book.

My only possibly worthwhile comment is that rather than an inverted pontil - seen for example on some pieces of Alum Bay glass  -  your indent is more likely to be a 'kick'  -  used to strengthen the piece I believe.

An sure somewhere is already delving through said book for you - fingers crossed.

Hi Della, a design produced by Gordiola, Venini and others I believe, a search on the board under 'Gordiola Venini' should throw up a few previous threads. Hope this helps a little.

Cheers, both.

Never thought to call it simply a 5 spouted vase when I first searched the board 

Read all of the threads, and thank you for putting me on the right path. Much appreciated

Most welcome Della
