Topic: Blue Cased Bottle Vase Teal? Empoli?

[LEGSY]

Been searching for a needle in a hay stack online for this vase
or bottle missing a ball maybe? It looked similar to an Alsterfors vase
in shape but not in weight i would suggest that i have seen some
similarities with the way the base is finished with some 60s Empoli
glass. The white inner lining is not as pronounced as some Holmegaard
pieces i have known before maybe earlier kASTRUP?? The piece has a bit
of wear and seems well made hope it is not Replica even though i like it
8.5"x3.5" Thanks for looking...

Have you considered Japanese?

Yes indeed i did at first it kinda feel's a better piece of
glass the central are which is roughed up where the pontil scar
has been heat treated i think?? has to much signs of being worked
i don't usually associate that kind of laboriousness with many of
the pieces i have had in the past they usually look stylistically like
pieces but when you look closer mine have tended to fall short on the
little finer details not implying it can't be Oriental but i feel it isn't badly
made i do think teal Empoli looks a similar sort of thing I just enjoy
the hunt Thanks for the reply Cat

I might be wrong its not really teal is it ??

I suspect there is no pontil mark and those are cooling marks on the base

Not always easy to tell from the picture.....but teal is not the first colour that springs to mind when I see yours😺
