Topic: ID help please - Vallerysthal vase? ID = Portieux (1914)

[jugendstil1066]

Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum and don't know much about glass. I purchased this beautiful yellow vase for $8 at a yard sale the other day - I loved the snake that twines around it! Like I said, I know little about glass, but to me it looked like Vallerysthal. An internet search revealed two identical vases - one in blue that had been listed on Ebay in Germany (that seller thought it might be Fenton) and another in green, currently listed on Ebay by a seller in India. That seller says her vase is indeed Vallerysthal. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

There's a similar vase over here http://opaline.defoire.pagesperso-orange.fr/opale/index, just one bar up from the bottom but the owner of the site doesn't know who it's by. Available in 4 colours and the theme, or decor, can be found back on a Baccarat vase from 1870 and a vase by Sars-Poteries from 1885, but that doesn't mean it's one or the other of course.

Just noticed that the link doesn't work ...  ... on the left you have the menu, click on Collection, then on vases nr 5 ... your vase is at the bottom.

Forget the previous link ...  I should've looked a bit better first ...Portieux 1914.
