Title: Dating orange vase, full of bubbles
Post by: Florence8989 on March 22, 2024, 09:36:35 AM

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum

I'm here to share my love for glass and wanted some help identifying or maybe dating a piece?

The piece in question is an orange vase, that's full of bubbles, these can be felt on the surface of the glass. Has a few inclusions? You can also see striations up and down the vase, it has little tiny swirl (?) decorative handles and appears to be hand-blown from the bottom

I'd love to know is it old, new? Any knowledge is greatly appreciated

I've got a creamer with similarities which I think might be from Spain/Mallorca but I've not been able to confirm it. Gordiola Glassware was one possibility.

Hi and welcome.
Is it fairly lightweight?  I was wondering if it might be Egyptian.  There was a lot of it around a few years ago - I had some side plates.

Probably Gordiola but it could also have been made in a number of works in Italy or Portugal or Spain. The colour is beer bottle brown, so it might be recycled. It is not finished so it is rather casual.

This is my Gordiola plate for comparison but it's more amber than brown to be honest:
