I usually get it wrong when I mention Moser......but I'll risk it.  The cutting and etching on the second and third vases, the quality, and the fact that they aren't always signed...... Just putting it out there 😺

https://www.artglassnouveau.com/phdi/p1.nsf/supppages/4523?opendocument&part=5

There are some lovely images of Colotte vases, but the more I look at them the more they look "harder" - deep cuts with very straight geometric lines.

Perhaps Pete could try some shots with a tube of paper inside the vase, so that we can see the design more clearly without the other side showing through?

It really is an intriguing piece.  I haven't been able to stop thinking about it all day in the garage while unpacking more boxes.  Nothing like this discovered as yet 😹
Thanks for the link Cat Im glad you like it :)
Im not sure about moser or anything else to be fair but its definitely by someone?
Cheers Pete

It reminded me of aspects of John Ford graal.

I should have been clearer about the images I linked to, it was for the quality of the etching in both and the asymmetrical cutting on the second.  Not for the period of those pieces, but I thought a "maybe" for later Moser.

Off to learn about John Ford Graal!

Pete, so far, we all seem to be a bit clueless, apart from we all think it's something pretty wonderful. ;D
(I haven't investigated Ford yet, a new name to me too) but somebody will know; we'll get there in the end.
We're just amateurs, and not everybody comes along every day.
I just don't think the folk who do know about this sort of thing have seen it yet, but Ekimp has joined in...   :) Thanks for the extra pics. This vase deserves scrutiny and study.

Hi, i don’t think John Ford did it, just it reminded me of some of his stuff. I see he worked for Orrefors as an engraver, maybe there is a Swedish influence? Not a clue really (situation normal ;D ), but I like it!

Don't worry about it, Pete - we're all enthralled and I'm sure, quite happy to carry on - this really is something from a "deep end" as you say. It's very, very exciting.  ;D
We just haven't got the right person to see it, yet.
