Hi usually a whitefriars collector but saw this lovely vase for sale in a charity shop and had to buy
The glass is only around 9 inches tall but weighs 1.5kgs in a lovely ice blue
Does anyone know who teh maker is

Hi there I think your vase is pictured upside down and is maybe a flavoured oil burner used throughout the 90s it seems.. its probably Polish in origin. Regards Paul.

Thanks for that would not have guessed at all are there anywhere l can look up how these are used

Hi.. I have a smaller one very similar to yours.. I remember seeing these with a metal cap device that held a wick and was fitted to the top this would allow the wick to hang in the oil in the reservoir. Regards Paul.

makes total sense know as on the bottoem/ top is a small hole l wondered what is was for .
Does the one you have all the bits to be able to use ,if it does could l have a picture so l can see what l need to look for to be able to use it

No it was bought missing before I found out what it was.. they are usually yellow metal (gilt) or occasionally chrome even though they are meant for use I think they are nice decorative objects in their own right. Paul

Just a thought maybe if you looked around a few candle or ethnic type shops you may find something to adapt to fit.. Regards Paul
