Title: RED ORANGE BOTTLE VASE
Post by: Kerrykez on April 03, 2010, 04:14:03 PM

Hi, can anyone help me id this 16" tall bottle vase with a ground and polished pontil?   It is half orange/half amber and quite heavyweight.  Thanks.  :)

Hi Kerrykez,
it looks pretty modern to me, Polish area, or maybe China
sort of thing sold in shops like TK Maxx.
Maybe someone will disagree with me??
Cheers
Andy

Agreeing :D, sometimes see them in other colours too.

Earlier topic was inconclusive:
http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,4294.0.html - I wish I could find the maker too!  Incidentally, mine is now sat on the landing window sill alongside a Riihimaki vase which is a dead match for the red-orange colour but there's no evidence the bottles were made by them.

From a distance I often mistake these for Kjell Engman "Tobago" bottles for Kosta Boda....maybe that was the intention of whoever made them?

Martyn, I agree. I too suspect a copy of the Tobago design by person/s unknown... the irritating thing is that I'm sure that way back when I first found the GMB and before I found this bottle, I saw them for sale on a website - in two colourways, this one and a peacock/blue/clear one. I've never been able to find that site again though... how irritating is that!  :hb1:

I had posted similar items here:   :thup:  http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,26982.0.html  They look very, very similar.....vase, and the bottom.
