Title: Id for opaque glass vase please
Post by: saorsa on July 29, 2008, 12:18:43 PM

sorry to bother you all , but i have a opaque blue vase that i have listed on ebay last week and i am being inundated with questions about it that i am unable to answer .
it has a registration number on the base 196183 which i think dates it to around 1892 , but the maker stumps me ( Joplings ?)  any help appreciated  the ebay listing number is  280249953712
but i will also attach some pictures on here , i may delist it until i can get a definative answer as it is such  a fantastic piece

thanks

Gregor

Hi Gregor -
I think you'll have a fair chance of getting it identified here. But please be informed that opaque means that no light shines through. Your vase is clear glass, pressed and satinated. Not opaque.

Gregor,

I think you've misread the Reg. No. - it should read 796183, relating to a date of 6th September 1934.
