Another boot sale bargain is this old thorn vase. Sorry the thorns have not shown up too well in the photos.
The enamelling looks quite fine in close up.
I am wondering if anyone can help me to guess at the maker, or at least the country of origin, and an approximate date would be great too - thanks :)

The body of your vase looks very similar to a vase I have recently tried to ID. With a little work, I guessed that mine was 1930s Czech, possibly Kralik, but I did not know for sure. I would also like to read some ideas on your vase.

Thanks Anita,
I had Bohemia in mind, but I had guessed at slightly earlier than the 1930's so that is an advance :)
The annoying thing is I am sure I have seen something similar on a website recently, but can't find it again - maybe I look at too many websites!
Could you post some pictures of your vase for comparison purposes perhaps?

Glad to post a picture. Mine is not as fancy, but it reminds me a lot of yours.

I think you are right, there is a distinct resemblance in the glass colour and marbling and in the style of the enamelling. Now all we need to do is find out more about both of them ;)
