I bought this vase the other day and have no idea what it is. It is 10" tall and heavy. It is flask shaped -- about 5" wide and 2.5" thick. The pedestal and foot are filled with small bubbles. The vase appears to have some age on it. Does anyone have any idea of what country it may have come from or who might have made it? Thanks!

Hi Anita , it looks a bit like the cloudy lattice glass that Adam has been playing around with in the last few months after a thread on Whitefriars .com , i am sure he will explain it better , wait for the AA . :chky: :thup:

Have you gone AWOL Adam ?

:)
No problem. Maybe he will see it when he gets back in. Or the vase could just go down as one of the unidentified pieces. Those can be a treat, too, when I run into an identified one somewhere down the road. I suspect that this vase is either from North America or the UK, but I don't really know.

Hello Anita,
Now back in the land of the living, thanks to Anne :hiclp:
This vase is Nazeing 'Lattice' ware from the pre-war era - so, English c1930's.
I had an example in pink with white in the "Nazeing Glass and its Origins" exhibition in 2003 and as a result bought an identical one to yours at 10" high.
Do you have an exact measurement for this, in inches and centimetres/millimetres (not converted but as measured) please? I am trying to record information on sizes.
Interesting that it's turned up in the USA.

Do these -perchance- also come in blue and yellow threads?
-
Wow, Nigel! It is better than I hoped. I have never had a Nazeing piece. It feels like early-20th Century American glass. Thank you so much!
Now for the measurements:
Height 9 11/16 in, 246 mm
Width 5 1/4 in, 133 mm
Thicness 2.8", 71 mm
Inside diameter rim 2 in, 51 mm
Base diameter 4.55 in, 116 mm
Pardon the switch from fractions to decimals. I had to use a ruler on the larger measurements, instead of the calipers I used on the smaller.
-
Hi Anita,
Many thanks for the measurements.

OHHH Nigel how could i have forgotten you please forgive me ,it is the weekend . :hiclp:Well done :mus:

Ivo,
Nazeing 'Lattice' ware is recorded as being in white only (as per this thread); pink with white as mentioned; in Sherwood Green with white; and in Blue with white. I have often wondered about (Primrose) yellow and white, but to date have not recorded an example.
Blue and yellow together no that is another, unknown manufacturer (with grey, and with mica inclusions? Is my guess that we're talking about the same thing?).

No, just waiting for the professional (NB) to come along and id. You're partly right about the method because the trails have been dipped into an optic mould the same way the cloudy lattice was done, but it looks like this was also put into a pineapple mould to create the controlled bubbles, which is quite unusual, I think... ;)
-
I asked as I have been trying to get this large oval one ID'd for years.

Hi Ivo,
Not Nazeing IMHO, sorry. You'll need to hold onto that patience for a bit longer ;)
I was imagining one of the vases so often believed to be Monart, but honorarily given Czech status in the absence of any other attribution - so way off beam :huh:
Cheers, Nigel
