Title: Heavy Purple vase (polish)
Post by: Gilead on April 02, 2008, 11:46:29 PM
As anyone seen a vase like this before, with a pattern which resembles melted candle wax this vase is 1/2inch thick. and stands 11ins tall the diameter of the opening is 2.5ins is this blown or moulded.

The pontil is not smooth the rest of the vase is finished very well it weighs a total of 4lb 9oz which is 2kg 0.69g doe's anyone else like this vase besides me, think it is a required taste dont you,
                                                                 Cheers

More likely Chinese, Polish glass usually has a well finished shiny bottom. The matt finish is usually Chinese
