Title: ID Help please #2 of 2 vases
Post by: obscurities on May 23, 2010, 03:40:55 AM

I am looking for some help with an attribution on this vase. Please see the other vase I am trying to ID, as they seem to be similar in some ways....

I am trying to assist someone and do not currently ahve base shots or dimensions. I will get those if I can.

Any thoughts are appreciated...  Thanks in advance...

Gut feel from the thickness, colour, crimp and clear rim suggests American, starting with Fenton.

I am guessing too Cathy, as that is what I had posted a few days ago for the other piece like this.  My guesses were FENTON or MT. WASHINGTON.

See other topic: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,33875.0.html

But I was just guessing too ... but glad to see we are on the same wave-length with Fenton...  :)

Here is an image of the underside. This piece measures approx 6.5 x 5 inches......

I should also mention that although these pieces (the other posting) are located in the US, my suspicion is that they are not US production and are related to each other based on the unique color combination.

I have not yet, I thought James may come along and confirm or deny. I do not think it is Fenton, as the color combination is not one I have seen them use before, and it is a pretty distinctive color combo.......  but I am certainly not a Fenton expert....  I will email him today though....

James has confirmed that this is not a Fenton product.
