Glass / Re: Unusual Cranberry & Opalescent Bucket Handled Vase???

It's a bit small for ice, perhaps sugar; there were lots of novelty sugars

That does not look heat struck, two types of glass then. Don't remember seeing anything quite like that.

Does look likely, appears to be the same colour palette with the colours reversed.

Glass / Re: Deceptive tumbler or something else?

Twelve pages of tumblers in that catalogue, that is a huge number of designs being offered in a single year. They must have been good sellers.

I need to have a close look at this tumbler again, it is not here with me so will have to wait until later. Somewhere I have a couple of very thin tumblers too, will dig them out for contrast.

Glass / Scailmont Vase?
« Last post by Birkyc on Yesterday at 07:50:20 PM »
Help with identification of this vase would be appreciated.

Whilst searching for an attribution I came across several images of Scailmont vases with very similar appearance in terms of the colour palette and deliberate pattern / design in the spatter, though not one in this shape..

I would be grateful for some opinions, is this a Scailmont vase?

There are no markings.

The vase is 33cm tall, 9.3cm diameter rim, 9.5cm diameter base, maximum diameter 16cm, weighs 1.5kg

The ground rim is also bevelled.

More pictures available if required.

Thank you.

Glass / Art Deco? Green Pressed Glass Vase
« Last post by Birkyc on Yesterday at 06:00:49 PM »
Can anyone help with ID for this vase please? I have exhausted all of my resources without success.

Square in form, tapering down to base, pressed glass, ribbed design, ground base.

21cm tall, 6cm square rim, 7cm square base, thick heavy glass, weighs 574g.

Art deco possibly? Czech/ Bohemian?

Has a dull glow under Ultra Violet, probably Manganese rather than Uranium.

Any help appreciated.
Thank you.

Remember I know nothing about older glass, but this tumbler does remind me a bit, in overall internal shape  (thick walled and with a very thick base with the shaped hollow extending into the base), of taller and slimmer contemporary tumblers for iced tea or coffee.
They turned up as donations when I worked in Oxfam.
I think the glass itself was perhaps a little on the yellow side. The overall feel was of old fashioned ice cream parlour glassware.

It's not a hyacinth vase; there is insufficient room for the roots and it's tiny. The top is too wide for crocuses
