Topic: Possible Dial Art glass vase.

[keith]

Probably not, thought at first a standard, Chinese/floral display vase then I saw the label so as it was so cheap I had to take a risk  I have tried to look online but Plowden and Thompson don't do this type of thing before, I have emailed them in the past but never got a reply.

  I can't make out what colour /colours it is, or if the glass is plain or has a design or pattern in it.
It might be my monitor and a combination of how bright it is where I am and my eyes going dim with age...
Looking at the worn base, I seem to see a tiny grey bubbly effect, but looking at the body, I can see ambers, purples and a green tinge.
I am very, very confused.

It's an odd piece of glass, it looks black at first then a muddy brown, shine a strong light on it and you get those streaks, it has a lot of bubbles in it, polished rim and a fair bit of wear, nothing like my other Dial Art vases.

I'll get the popcorn out and wait to see what anybody else says.
I am curious.
It there a lustre or iridesence to it? I did wonder if it was that very mirrory lustre.

No lustre, it just shows up fingerprints and the inside looks 'dusty'

Thanks M, got no where with this, maybe I'll have another go at contacting Plowden and Thompson.
