Topic: Well Strange But Very Nice Space Age Glass Mottled Orb Object??

Not all together sure if this is more an art object than a vase it sits on a raised polished
pontil scar or foot which is off to one side. The object is a sort of UFO shape or orb it would
look fabulous in the right setting not like the one i have though. The top has a small hole
which has a kind of similarity to the was in which some decanters are made in i think it maybe
know as a post method?? In any case i love it but would love to know where it was made or by
whom if it is at all possible its quite a large piece 9" x 8" and seems well made in my opinion.

  Are things this shape not called Ikebanas?
Things specifically made for Japanese flower arranging. Low bowls with an opening at one side.
I am not at all sure about whether or not it has been made using the "half-post method" - which is nothing more than a partial casing. The name is old and originates from a process that used to be used in bottle making.
I can see where you're coming from, with the bit that seems to be inside the opening, but I'm not sure it might have got like that when the opening was made. Perhaps a small bubble was blown into it to add a bit of extra metal?

  Yes the shape does seem to resemble the planters in Japan its a possibility certainly appreciate your message thanks
