Strange purpley chocolate encrusted vase. Odd...

(1/3) > >>

josordoni:
This is an oddity.  The vase seems to be made of lilac glass, with a thickly textured encrusted surface in a chocolate / purple colour. The handles are a creamy caramel colour.  

The overall effect is not particularly attractive to my eyes.  My gut feeling is this is one to go straight in the bin.

Any ideas anyone?

http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-3813 - base - this shows the encrustation better

Oh that is a new suggestion, we haven;t had any oily ideas before!  Have you seen one similar or is your fevered imagination at work?

I haven't heard of Lakeland.  I shall have to see what I can find out.

thanks!

Sue C:
from what i can gather it comes under the heron glass emberella, dont ask me why, i dont know, but it had a lakeland sticker on it, any one else out there with information?

josordoni:
How odd... this piece is much much nastier (highly subjective opinion here) than anything I would associate Heron with, but then I really only associate them with Ditchfield lookalikes.
