Title: Who made: pink ewer vase with Mica inclusions & vaseline handle?
Post by: mrvaselineglass on April 12, 2008, 08:08:01 PM

Just got this today.  There are three layers of glass: outside is clear, middle layer is pink with what appears to be mica or silver inclusions of some sort.  Inside layer is white glass.  Vaseline glass handle, flowing down into a big leaf pattern across the front.  I figure it is Bohemian, but don't know the maker.  Blown shape, no pontil, ground smooth top rim.

I think my vase comes from the same glassworks so I've added it here for future reference.  I think these look quite 'delicate' in pictures but in reality they are quite substantial, weight for size.   This one is 6 1/2" tall (about 17cm) and very well made with a cut and polished rim (well the bit that isn't chipped that is  ::)).

... and perhaps also this rather modestly decorated piece; it´s ca. 29cm tall and weighs 1.2kg.

'... and perhaps also this rather modestly decorated piece'   ;D  Dirk, I'm sorry, but there is only one way to describe it and that is 'frou frou'  :ooh:  Actually though, is the pink in yours marbled?  It doesn't look to be quite the same?

You´re right! It´s cased not marbled...  :-[ Mmh, at least the colour is similar.

In Germany we´d call it a ´Hausgräuel´ (home´s atrocity), which describes an ugly or kitsch object you´ve been
given by an important person. You therefore have to keep it displayed or put in place in case this person comes
for a visit. A modification would be the m-i-l-atrocity...  ;D

Mine is clear cased as well but the pink underneath is marbled pink and white and also has the mica flakes in, then there is a white interior

I'd be veering towards Bohemian, (if it's European) given the use of mica..... but I'm also starting to wonder if mica was more common than I originally thought...

(also veering towards the loo, in case I'm sick..... not my cup of tea :-X)

Thanks Rose, there are similar pieces from Stourbridge makers I think.  Sue I'm pretty sure it is Bohemian - it's good we don't all like the same thing ;D so just a heads up, don't look at my next post as you are surely going to hate that one  :ooh:
