Cobalt vases
« on: May 16, 2021, 07:28:41 AM »
Dear glass collectors,

I recently bought some beautiful cobalt vases, i think they are scandinavian but i can't find anything about them.
They are hand made for sure.

Does anyone know the age and manufacturer?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi, welcome to the forum. The forum encourages us to post one item at a time for identification as it gets confusing as to which item people are talking about etc. Having said that....in your top photo, the vase in the middle at the front is a Victorian ‘Tye’ type Hyacinth vase. The originals are moulded and have writing moulded into the base. Yours looks like it might be hand blown as the parallel section of the rim at the top is quite tall. Have a look here: http://www.hyacinthvases.org.uk The pair behind the ‘Tye’ type also look like Hyacinth vases with that form of top (for the bulb to sit on).

When you post your photos (preferably as big as the forum allows), it’s always useful to see a clear shot of the base as well, even if there are no apparent markings. For example, we could see if your ‘Tye’ type vase had the writing on the bottom or not. In this case, seeing that it didn’t have writing would be as useful as if it did.
