Glass / Art Glass Vase ID?
« Last post by Keith Mick on May 12, 2024, 03:24:19 PM »
Hi,
Came across this vase in a charity shop and couldn't resist it! Not had much luck ID'ing the beauty. It has white enamel? trailing and gold flecks in the  body which is cased. It's quite heavy for its size and stands approx 20cm tall. The pontil is broken and the base is manually finished not ground. The shape is maybe not that unusual but I haven't come across anything with similar decoration. It seems nicely executed to my untrained eye and I think it's has a cool look.
Any help would be appreciated,
Keith Mick

Glass / Unusual trailed glass vase/jug
« Last post by Keith Mick on May 12, 2024, 02:11:29 PM »
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone can help me with an ID on this unusual orange/amber art glass jug. It has a rough outer surface texture although the inside, trailing and looped handle are all smooth. Have searched online but not really come across anything similar. I can find no markings and it's not easy to judge wear because of the rough surface. The pontil mark is ground and it stands just over 20cm tall or 8 inches in old money. Looks like it might be a copy of an older style of vessel.
Any help would be appreciated

Glass / Unusual Shape Richard Blenko Vase - Any Additional Info Appreciated
« Last post by quailman on May 11, 2024, 08:15:30 PM »
Hello All. I recently picked up this Blenko vase. The underside of the base is signed Richard Blenko and the year "95" (or possibly "93). The color appears to be emerald green and the base has blue threading. It's rather large and stands about 12 1/2" tall. The body is approximately 7" wide. The vase has a very unusual shape. I've searched the 1993 and 1995 Blenko catalogs and I don't see this shape listed. Perhaps it was a limited-edition piece or a one-of-a-kind piece? I've been unable to find another example pictured anywhere online. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

 :) It is absolutely fine. Just a nice early bit of Earthtones.
I tried to find the bits that had this lovely striated sort of strapping in them rather than the more blocky solid rope-like sort. It's a fairly well known sort of experimental shape, with that wide neck and the sides probably marvered flat.
Mdina Tortoiseshell is just plain deep brown striations spots and swirls, it doesn't have the yellow.
It's IoWSG Tortoiseshell that is yellow and brown. It confuses me, but that's not hard. ;D
