Glass / Re: Ruby Glass Vase
« Last post by chopin-liszt on May 19, 2024, 07:09:01 PM »This little vase is most likely Anchor Hocking. American, mould blown and quite thin.
Zbigniew Horbowy's work is much bigger, thicker and heavier, and while he may have used moulds for a cylindrical base shape, they were much more freehand in the finish.
Horbowy's work looks much more like quite adventurous studio glass. His bulges in things are rather more space-age in appearance than this very traditional little posy vase.
The reference I have for Horbowy is in the Ceramics and Glass book published by the museum in Krakow. I am rather fond of his work and have a couple of bits.
