Topic: Two unusual miniature vases have me stumped 🤔

[Andy]

A couple of well made, small but perfectly formed vases. Earthy colours, seller suggested possibly Mdina, I could tell that was wrong, but bought them because they are unusual and well made.
Out of curiosity, I’d love to find out who made them. Maybe studio, or Bohemian. No signatures
5 and 6.5cm tall. Quite thin delicate glass.

First post for several years 🤔 I haven’t been very active with my glass collecting , but I’ve recently rekindled my interest, and have seen some familiar names on a few Facebook sites and many on here too.

I wonder if anyone has seen something similar to these little pieces, or can point me in the right direction.
Best wishes to all

The colours look very Mdina but I've not seen those shapes before, I'm sure someone will know !

 :)Can we see them lit from the front pretty please? These pics are all back lit, which shows some aspects, but not what it looks like when the light hits the surface.
Absolutely not Mdina - too thin, the yellow too luminous, the wrong sorts of bases.
The similarities come from the use of silver salts to create colours, that's all.
I wondered Hortensja, but don't think so.
I don't think Ed Iglehart or Tom Young either.
Lauscha?

Shows what I know

They look and sound like lampwork, but I can't see the bottoms terribly well.

Here’s some brighter pics. The base is indented but smooth. Definitely very well made. I wondered about a Bohemian origin, as several companies made miniatures, but I don’t recognise the style, and  I don’t think there’s much age to them.

Have you checked if they glow green?

[Andy]

No, they don’t glow

[chopin-liszt]

I would doubt it - it is just a rather luminous yellow.
Can you tell if they are lampwork? The photos of the bases are still not clear enough for me to see, but it's the right sort of shape for lampwork.

I’ve never looked closely at lampwork, it usually doesn’t really appeal to me, I would imagine if it’s done with a blowtorch, you’d notice some imperfections, I think the thing that intrigues me, is the flawlessness of both.
I can’t see any signs of a pontil mark, so would that be a clue to lampwork 🤷🏼‍♂️
