Believe it or not, i have just spent two hour's cleaning white gloss paint off this vase :ac1: it is approx 10in tall, with large pontil, any idea of maker ? thanks in advance.
-
It is not a paperweight vase, but a budvase... did you check Pats site www.glassbudvases.co.uk
-
Hi Frank, yes i did check Pat's site, it isnt there, how do you define what a bud vase is? are they just for a stem with a bud, or just a single stem. this vase is quite large and would take more than just one stem, maybe a posy vase?
-
Defining a bud vase I will leave to Pat. (Thread title needs to be changed)
Paperweight vases are essentially referring to bud vases made by paperweight makers with a paperweight forming the base - not very sensible to use as a paperweight with water in 8)

I have something similar (????) too Sue C....here is mine...
-
I would say Japanese. If so then it would have a "cut" completely flat and polished base. Not really a bud vase, but I would include this one on my site as it has a bubble base. I would refer to it as a posy vase. You can see a similar one in yellow on this site www.glassencyclopedia.com/bubbleglass.html
which also says it has a label saying made in Japan.
I am feeling very guilty as I have not put any work in on the site for ages. Having moved just a year ago, the house has been in turmoil as all rooms needed decorating. I have left most of the vases still packed up at my mother's house for safe keeping. I have also been having chemotherapy (now finished thank goodness), and various other operations and investigations going on at the same time, but I hope to start again in the new year. I've just got to find a suitable place to photograph them.

Sorry to hear that Bubbles...hope ALL is OK...
Stupid question here, but are both Sue C, and mine Japenase...or which were you referring to. I also have a couple other ones too...more like Sue C...they are packed away...I will try to find them too to post, and was it Sue C a posy vase? Then what is mine (be nice.....lol) called ?

In America, at least in relation to Tiffany items, "paperweight vase" refers to a regular vase shape but with a design element embedded in the metal a manner used for paperweight construction.

Big :hug: for Pat - we have missed you, take great care of yourself and hope all stays well
-
Ditto what Christine said, Pat and a :hug: from all of us here.

Thankyou all for all your kind wishes, yes all is ok now (officially in remission), and since having my thyroid & benign tumour removed I am feeling better than I have been for AGES! I keep taking the tablets!!!
Back to the glass...
Sue C's "posy" vase is the one from Japan.
Antiquerose, your vase is not a vase but a Martini glass. I have seen these with Chinese and Czech labels, they are still made today. I would be able to tell from handling them and by the bubbles and base finish as to where they were made, but difficult to tell from a picture.
When I get more organised I will add some more pictures
-
OI YOU!!! take it easy, no rush, we can wait, and a silly inquiry by me can wait even longer, so just let us know how you are when you feel up to it, i for one would like to know :-*
