Title: Cobalt Bottle Vase! Gulvase?
Post by: peejyweejy on April 23, 2010, 06:58:01 PM

Evening....Just wondered if anyone could tell me anything about this bottle vase. It does have some wear to the base as you can see in the photos.

Hi,
it looks like a ´gulvvase´, designed by Otto Brauer for Holmegaard. I´m sure you´ll find
some further topics here on GMB with the search function.
Can you give us the measurements, please?
Cheers,
Dirk

Hi Dirk...thanks for your reply. Measurments are approximately: height = 10"  - base = 3.5" in diameter - Rim = 2 7/8.

I did think Holmegaard - but I didn't want to tempt fate!

Size and colour look good, see Nic´s site:

I´m not sure if the copies, which are around match the given measurements that exactly...
Surely someone else will know better than me.

Thanks for your help Dirk - what a great little site. I have also looked at other threads on the GMB, which have been useful. Let's hope someone knows for sure  :-\
