Topic: Large olive green 'fish' vase for id, please.

[keith]

Around 8 inches tall, polished pontil mark and two sets of fish, apologies for the images, I took them but not my camera  looks very Scandi to me.

Would a kind moderator move this to the 'Scandi' section please, might get a hit or two,ta 

[Anne]

Nope, cos ID's belong in Glass, Keith. We will move it once it is determined to be Scandi, but the country forums are not primary ID forums. Sorry.

[keith]

  Oops, should have realised that

The fish remind me of an engraved Whitefriars vase that I had a while back Keith, the fish were placed front and back much like yours. Colour and shape were different though, sorry don't have time to search right now.

Thanks for looking John, have seen their clear vases with fish but not this colour.

The wfs ones have a whale on one side and a shoal of fairly simple stylised fish on the other. I've attached a pic I have of their shoal of fish. I don't have the vase any more, so can't do anything to improve the image.
The vase itself looks rather wfs-ey to me, it's their sort of colour and has big optic ribs, but I don't think it is. It's just their sort of generic style.
The fish on this vase are far more complex and detailed.

Thanks Sue, I'll do some 'fishing'

Hope you manage to net something good.
Tight lines!

I'm sure I'll get an angle on it
