last one for today :)
vase # 837
This is the only one of which I would have guessed could be continental Europe? :-[
TIA

This is a fascinating vase, Pamela. I have not seen it before and it is intriguing. The iridescence appears to be top notch.
The fan motif (I can't think of a better way to describe it right now) in the horizontal panels reminds me of a Riihimaki pattern that is seen in bowls and stemmed comports. But the vase is not in any of the Riihimaki catalogues that I have. That doesn't rule out Riihimaki, of course - it's just that the vase is not shown in the catalogues that I have.
Poland is also possibility (Hortensja would be my guess) but again, it's not in the catalogue that I have.
Is it possible to see what the base of the vase looks like? And can you tell us if it has an "Inwald-like" mirror shiny grind on the base (although I really don't think the pattern is an Inwald one - but I would want to eliminate that maker from the enquiry).
Has anyone seen this vase in any other type of glass - or better still, in a catalogue?
-
Glen, thank you, also for the Mistic!
I'm glad I did no longer search on my own :pb:
All the photos submitted came from Karrasburg - but, as we had definitely ruled out Brockwitz, gladly this vase is now here with me and I take some more images as requested.
It's always better to touch and handle the glass, and Riihimäki and even Schreiber / Hortensja were my possible thoughts also...
:hug:

Here are a couple of images of the "Katherine" plate that I mentioned above (Riihimaki's 7259 in amber). The pattern reminds me of the horizontal motif in Pamela's vase.

Katherine is at least a very beautiful sister, I'd say :thup:
the vase measures 197 mm height, base dia 76 mm, top dia 105 mm

Many thanks for those extra images, Pamela. It helps a lot. The base colour of the glass looks as if it may be amber and not clear (crystal). If it is amber, then that is a HUGE tick in the box for Riihimaki. The entire pattern concept of the vase says "Riihimaki" too.

Glen, it's crystal clear, I'm afraid :cry:
-
No worries. It would have been an easier task to pin down if it had been amber. Marigold is good though ;)
Thanks for the great photos, Pamela.

One more from another angle
Thanks again for your time, Glen :-*

Especially for Glen! :-*
More than three years have passed, and I guess we've got an attribution today. Please see page 10 of
Max Malky, Weisswasser O.L. ca 1930 pattern NORDSTERN (http://www.glas-musterbuch.de/Max-Malky-um-1930.309+B6YmFja1BJRD0zMDkmcHJvZHVjdElEPTEyODEyJnBpZF9wcm9kdWN0PTMwOSZkZXRhaWw9.0.html)
The pricelist page -7- indicates that NORDSTERN is out of production.

wow Pamela! that's fantastic :D
And thanks so much for sharing the catalogues once again.

Great!! Was Max Malky a manufacturer or a distributor? (And there's Patricia's hyacinth vase in with the pee bottles as usual!!)
-
Malky were manufacturers, some ranges marked 'Edelweiss' (http://pressglas-pavillon.de/schalen/03639.html) like
