Topic: ID: ~7" tall, square, brown-green vase (not WF)

[WhiteHound]

Hi,

New to GMB; relatively new to glass: I have a few pieces of Whitefriars, but wouldn't (yet) call myself a collector... Hope someone can help identify a vase I got a few months ago.

It's just under 7¾" tall (169mm), is roughly square (outside size is 2¼", ~58mm) and the glass about 4mm thick. Top half is lightish brown; bottom is a darker green. Texturing is similar to the Whitefriars bark pattern. Base is smooth: no pontil nor any registration mark that I can see.

I was fairly certain it wasn't Whitefriars when I bought it (I just liked it), and from a quick scan of these boards, I thought it might be Ingrid glass, but I came across this post by rocco saying that they hadn't seen any two-colour Ingrid glass.

Can anyone shine any light, please?

Japanese I think

Sasaki if I remember well.

Thanks for the replies. First, an apology: I somehow mis-entered the height – it should be 6¾" (is there a way of editing a post? A help page for Simple Machines says "select the Modify link or the icon", but I can't see either...).

Sasaki looks plausible, although I'm not certain: mine has the same "style" of colouring as the vase in bark vase in tequila sunrise, which may be Sasaki, but my base is noticeably squarer than that example (and the one linked in the first response).

However, searching down the Japanese route (which I didn't know was "a thing" before your responses) led me to Tajima. As far as I can judge, the shape and texture appears to be a near 100% match to Tajima Japanese Bark Textured Red Cased Glass Vase on 20th Century Glass (and the revised height matches), and my colours appear to be the same as Tajima Japanese "Best Art Glass" Textured Bark Amber & Green Glass Vase from the same site.

Unless more experienced minds say otherwise, I think I'll go with Tajima.
