Topic: Those vases with pushed in bits inside the vase that stick together

[flying free]

These come up periodically on the board.  I came across these two examples which are quite interesting:

Albin Schaedel for Lauscha glass according to the sale.

Love your title. 
Whenever I see these, I think of our Anne and her "magic pokey stick".

[Anne]

    I can't think why, Sue!

   well I thought someone would know immediately from the description what they are. It's not a good description when searching in the future though but couldn't think what else to put.

The whole description of the two linked vase is as follows (just in case the time frame comes in handy for dating 'fashion' etc:

Quote
'Albin Schaedel for Lauscha Glass - Two Grenade vases, the ovoid bodies of willow green; and amethyst, pierced with conical indentations in three rows, original paper labels 'Handmade in GDR', 1960's, 12.5cm and 13cm high approx (2)'

I might have used the expression "witch ball" to describe it, but that wouldn't be completely accurate. The insidey bits are not stringy and random and don't go right through.
A Poked vase? 
Or am I just into pokey sticks because of the significant Anne connection?

Sue,

Would "inverse knob" be ok???

[catshome]

"Inverted prunts" maybe?

Inverted prunts is a good one.

Inverted is a word we should keep, but the prodded-in bits are not prunts - that's a blob of glass added, and they're not really knobs; knobs and knobbly as glass terms tends to make folk think of wfs. Knobs also tend to be substantial, not delicate like this.

And poked can be a word that makes folk think of the wet stick method used in Webb's Flair or
Per Lutken's orchidae pieces.
