Topic: Crackle Glass Vase With Hand Painted Red Stripes and Base ID Help

[Roobarb]

Hello, this piece is quite unusual and I can't seem to find anything about it online. It seems to have hand painted lines and the base is also painted, the lines have faded somewhat with age. It has a smooth pontil and is approx 15cm tall. Any ideas would be great

Hi

Please can you upload your pictures at 600x 400 pixels.  That way they are large enough to enlarge to see the detail in focus.

Thank you

Hello - sorry about this. I would but I don't know how  I tried to upload higher quality photos but the site won't take them.

Have you seen this yet?
Loads of techie help and info here. You just need to find the instructions for the systems you use.

I have troubles because I cannot find any "systems" to use. They don't exist in my windoze 10.

Thanks Sue! I'll have a look at this

Thanks chopin-liszt!

Think I've done it...re uploading them and hopefully they're better

  You've cracked it! The pics are great.
I am confused a little - but I bet you are too. You say the lines are painted, and they are a bit worn looking in some parts on the walls, but looking at the base shot, the crackles and shine of the glass surface seem to be OVER the "paint". 

This sort of "pinstripe" decor makes the name Polowny pop up to me... but a brief search does not bring up anything crackled.

Thanks Sue!

I think with the base, that's just where it has worn. Thank you for the suggestion - I'll have a look into it!

Right, so the paint is on the other side, on the top. Got it!
I can be slow.

My assumption based on style would be 1920s or 30s and bohemian, the design looks very much like a nod to Loetz's tango production especially the shape and the lines.
