Title: Two-coloured bark effect glass vase - ID = probably Japanese
Post by: robbyoblock on June 10, 2013, 06:30:52 PM

Hi

I am looking for help identifying the maker of this vase. I thought it was Ingrid Glashütte.

thanks

Robby

Hi Robby, welcome to the GMB.  It's always best to include shots of the rim and base, as the way they are finished can help point to a particular maker.

Having said that, I'm pretty sure this kind of bark textured vase has not yet been positively identified, although I think Japanese, Austrian or German is most likely.  I don't think it is by Ingrid though.  The Ingrid bark vases tend to have flat ground and polished rims.

Personally I suspect these are of Japanese origin, but I've yet to find any proof!  :)

Hi Robby,
welcome to the board!

Your vase isn't Ingrid Glas.
I think it is Japanese -- is it the same shape as the one to the right? >> Link (http://www.glaskilian.de/Sea-Glasbruk.522.0.html)
(The Label with the "S" is not Sea glasbruk; here is another one with the same label, but with Japan added http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,50256.0.html (http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,50256.0.html))

edit: Wayne was faster ;)
edit2: I personally have never seen any two-coloured Ingrid glass piece...

Michael, I think you mean to include this link (http://www.glaskilian.de/UEberfangglas-Vase-Sea-Glasbru.522+B6YmFja1BJRD01MjImcHJvZHVjdElEPTIyNTkxJnBpZF9wcm9kdWN0PTUyMiZkZXRhaWw9.0.html) too?

(I was a bit baffled for a while)  :)

Great that you found the proof I was after, cheers, I've been looking out for a labelled one of these for a while!

and the base.

Yes Wayne, sorry -- I have corrected it in my previous post.
I have the narrow version in my collection, so I think it is very nice to have it attributed to a country (the maker behind that "S" seems to be unidentified so far)

Thank you Robby for the additional pics -- a pic of the underside of the base is usually more helpful ;)
Mine has a ground base, but not shiny...

Just realised I've had one of these with the "S" label (without Japan), pics attached for reference.  Shiny polished base on this one.  I imagine the label is probably an importer/retailer, going off what usually seems to be the case with labelled Japanese glass.

Just came across this other thread too, which shows the wider version with the same label:

Oh, very good -- vase and label in one thread ;D

So base finish seems to vary; here is mine which is nicely polished, but not perfectly shiny...
