Any ideas who might have made this classy looking old vase please? 

TIA  ;)

Have you checked the Blenko site?

http://www.blenkocollectors.com/blenkocollections.htm

I will look, too, and get back to you...

Many thanks Kate :)  I've just spent an enjoyable time looking at all the Blenko.  The colours and shapes are just amazing! 8)  I didn't spot mine though, but the colour looks about right.  I must admit I thought it was more likely to be European and didn't even consider Blenko, but you just never know.

I know, I love that site.  I've been on it many, many times. 

On the Pottery and Glass Board Forum through eBay, there is a girl by the name of "Blenko loves Blenko" (aka Tammy) who, I believe, works for Blenko.  She is the absolute expert and can answer this question in a New York minute....:)  She's very helpful and nice.

If it isn't Blenko, it may be Bischoff or ??? (I can't think of the names I'm looking for....) but if you do post over on that board, put Blenko in the title to be sure she looks at the post.  She can, in all likelihood, give you the answer you are looking for...even if it's not Blenko.

David,

Thanks for posting those links.  Now I've just spent some time going through those sites....which are terrific.

Thanks again, Kate

Thanks for that Kate.  I'll do a posting and see what happens.  Can I just ask if it is the Pottery & Glass Board in the U.S. or the U.K?   May be the "New York minute.." is an obvious clue and I'm just being a bit thick ;D (still recovering from New Year festivities ;))  I'll do a search on Bischoff too.  A new one to me.

Thanks David for the excellent links.  What a feast of colour!  8)  And those collections.....!  Some good ideas for displaying glass there too.

The board is in the US.  I was in contact with Tammy (who does not work for Blenko) but there is another member on that board who does (don't know her name).  I am in California (New York minute was just an expression  ;D)...

I'm watching to see if you come up with an id.  I like this vase.
