Unusual green candlestick-style vase for ID
« on: February 05, 2025, 05:29:36 PM »
Can anyone help identify this unusual vase, please? I thought perhaps Finnish and 1970s when I bought it, but I can't find anything quite like it online.

The vase is in the style of a candlestick, but probably not used for that. The vase stands 24 cm high and has a substantial weight.

It's mouth-blown, with the pontil mark ground out slightly concave. The green colour is throughout the glass and not flashed. The quality is not quite the best I've seen; there are a couple of small creases in the glass.

The rim is flat and 10.7 cm across. The hole is 3 cm in diameter with no sign of it ever having a stopper. The glass is about 6 mm thick at the rim.

The bulbs at the base and middle are both about 9 cm in diameter.

There are no maker's marks or signatures.

Any help on possible identification is much appreciated. Thank you.

Anton

The matte-ground pontil mark suggests modern Chinese to me
