Chunky blue sommerso solifleur vase - maker?
« on: May 10, 2024, 01:57:56 PM »
Can anyone help me identify this vase, please? It's elliptical in cross section, and measures 15 cm wide, 13 cm high, and about 7 cm thick. It's unusual that the base is ground flat and open. The top has a large bubble with a small orifice. In other words, there is a cavity in the base and another opening at the top.

I can't find anything quite like this online. It's similar to Kosta Boda in some respects, but I don't know. There are no identifying marks on the piece.

Any suggestions as to identity is appreciated.

Anton

It reminds me a bit of the fairly recent ('90s-ish) Polish Jozefina oil burners.  ???

I agree with Sue. Missing the metal wick fitting
