Topic: Two unusual miniature vases have me stumped 🤔

I'm sure they are lampwork. 
That is the sort of base you end up with fine and with a kick-up in the middle, no seams, all smooth.
I might well have dismissed lampwork myself, if I hadn't discovered Ed Iglehart early on.

Thanks Sue, I’ve had an interesting trip round the web, read all about Ed Inglehart, looked at links and pictures, most of which
lead back  to here and yourself.  I was beginning to think he was a possibility, but his stuff is more fluid and organic with the odd flaw.
He seems a fascinating chap, and as you say, now mostly a treehugger. 🌳
Here’s one link, and there’s another on this site which has photos of your pieces, but I can’t copy and paste it or find it with the search function 🤷🏼‍♂️

Quite a few links to auction sites, so I presume he’s quite sought after and collectible although couldn’t see prices.
I think you’re right , it’s lampwork, probably not Ed though. It’s not particularly important in the grand scheme of things, but I’ll keep looking for clues out of curiosity.

Edit. I also found his pieces in Charles Hajdamachs book of British glass !

Ed has retired from glassmaking and teaching, and is now a tree planter. 
He is running around, planting fruit trees, for the benefit of local people and insects.

I've found a pic in my recesses. I have a few more now - including one like the frontispiece in Hadjamach, with the burst "bubble" at the bottom.

Lovely. Thanks Sue, that’s the photo to the link I couldn’t find when searching on the GMB .

Hebron Glass made stuff with silver salts, but I can't find out if their work is lampwork or not, and I haven't found these shapes.
These are bothering me!
