Iridised Burmese j.i.p vase

(1/2) > >>

heartofglass:
Here is a beautiful jack-in-the-pulpit vase, in Burmese glass with an iridised finish. It glows under u.v like Burmese is meant to do.
It is 15.5 cm tall & the rim is 12.5 cm across. It has a spiral around the stem, more visible in the back view of the vase. No markings.
It would not be usable as a vase, as it is unusually shallow inside, only a few cm deep.


I bought it from a dealer who specialises in carnival & Fenton, & although he bought it in the U.S he didn't think it was Fenton.
I have the book on Fenton Burmese but there isn't a piece quite like it.
I know there are a few firms who make Burmese from Fenton cullet, but they apparently mark their items.
Any ideas on a maker?
Thanks! :)

Hi Marinka -

This JIP vase reminds me of pieces made by a comtemporary glass artist whose website was posted here recently.  But I can't remember which thread it was posted in  :oops:

Hopefully the member who posted the link will see this and point us in the right direction  :lol:

Was it the Rick Strini vases?

Thank you, David.  That is the artist I was trying to remember.

Here is a link to his product page which shows some similar vases

Similar but I don't think the same, unless it was an earlier design. No trails on the ones shown and the base looks different.

Edit: lovely vase though!
