Topic: French Glass vase with bronze

[sarapopplewell]

I have this beautiful vase that was my grandmas.  I am new to glassware and I would appreciate any help I can get on identifying the maker and what the mark on the bottom signifies.  I am not sure if it is a dating method or maker.

Hello and welcome,

I've seen this model a lot, in several versions but often in mottled or an opaline style, coloured glass and also as  lampshades. I'm pretty sure it's French from the 20ies, but I have never seen one that's marked in any way or even with a bronze mount, so I'm not sure if the mark refers to the glassmaker or the company who applied the bronze frame.

Do the initials say FBS?

I was trying to research it and found a lot of glass similar, like you said, but not with the bronze either.  I believe that is what the letters are.

I have a foil label on a Murano Vase, trying to Identify maker.  It must be the referenced Import Company   I do not find this particular label in the List of Italian Glass Labels
