Title: Tall Yellow Vase, Scandic?
Post by: janton77 on February 03, 2010, 10:28:32 PM

Hi all

I do feel kind of silly not really knowing anything about these three posts and I hope there is the right section.
I am more comfortable with Orrefors/Stromberg/Kosta vases.

Out of the three I thing this is more Danish and in the back of my head maybe Murano?

Height 330mm Width 190mm

Kind regards

Jay

I suspect Chinese - the rim looks quite poorly finished. There's an outside chance of it being a production second from Empoli, Italy, but China is definitely my first guess.

Thanks again Pinkspoons and it makes sense, not my one my favourite bits...

Italy and Empoli gets my vote, here is a blue one with a stopper.

The ribs are different, the amber ones swirl. I'm with Nic.

I can't see from my photo whether the optic ribbing swirls or not and sadly this is the only photo of it I still have (I sold this bottle/decanter on ebay a few years ago).

I used to have far too many (30 or 40  :-[) of this kind of tall bottle with pointy stopper. Sometimes a design would have Made in Italy moulded on the bottom and sometimes the same design in a different colour would be blank. A few were from France and one or two were marked Portugal.

Andy McConnell in his book 20th Century Glass (page 87) states for this kind of bottle "Bormoili, Palma, 1970s".
