Topic: ID help please- Jardiniere / Vase

[Traveldeb]

Hello, thank you for allowing me into this glass forum.  I collect EAPG and know basic glass ID, but this inherited vase of mine baffles me. I don’t believe it’s EAPG.  It could be Elegant. It’s quite thick and rings so I believe it’s leaded.  It was my grandmother’s who was married in the 1920s. I think it may have been a wedding gift. My mother always called it a Jardiniere, but I’m not sure if that is accurate. It is 10 inches high and 6.5 inches in diameter at the top. I’ve included a photo.  Thank you for any help you are able to provide.

Hello Traveldeb and welcome to the Glass message board .

Could Tiffin glass be a possibility ? There seems to be a Scandinavian influence on the vase you have. That maybe an avenue to explore.
Forgive my ignorance what is EAPG glass?.
Good luck in your quest.

I didn't know either Tim until I found this linked site. Traveldeb, I can't help with an ID as it's difficult to see the detail of your vase from the photo.

Hi Traveldeb,
It looks like it has horizontal optic ribbing like Whitefriars did in the 1930's, but that may just be the photo. It's difficult to tell from one photo. The shape isn't whitefriars, but it looks hand formed rather than mould blown.
More photos will help people identify it for you.

Hi Traveldeb and welcome to the board. We could really do with larger pictures please, around 700 pixels along the longer edge usually does the job. Also a view of the how the base is finished, as what is there (or what isn't!) can often help with an ID as well. Thank you for taking the photo against a plain black background, that helps enormously.
PS if you get stuck resizing images to fit the board's size limits, please have a look at my Techie Tip post here http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,34093.0.html - if you get stuck with resizing, please drop me an email at support@glassmessages.com and I'll help.

EAPG is Early American Pressed Glass. I actually collect mostly celery vases and found one that I couldn't identify.  I wrote the Victoria and Albert Museum and they identified it as English!

Thanks so much for all of your input.  I'm trying to figure out how to reply to each of you.....I'm a work on progress.

Mod: Images resized and added for you.

I have this one which looks similar and has a "Orrefors" mark:

Note that there was no final explanation found why it is missing the proper Orrefors mark with designer and model code...

Thank you Rocco, it does look like mine and I double-checked. There isn't any kind of marking.
