Thought we hadn't has a quiz for a while, so here's a little puzzler, I hope.
7 3/4 tall and just under two pounds. Polished, flat base.
Good luck.

bearing in mind your continent (as opposed to saying you're incontinent :D) - how about Fenton. :)

Paul:
How on earth did you know about my medical condition?
Good logic in your answer, but no.
David

Vennini?

Flattering but, no, Christine.

Tarnowiec...
OK, so what did I win??? ;D

Tarnowiec... OK, so what did I win??? ;D
A trip back to that Beach..........lol J/k
...........Whoops back on topic....
-
No trips to the beach or anywhere yet. Anik and Rose: you're a little off base.

;D Sir laughaugh Glass Hause, Canada......aka.....Lorraine glass?? :X:

You're a cold, cold-hearted man, David. :cry:
(Pssst... You know, I could very secretly send you a little Tarnowiec label which you could stick to the vase and we could pretend I'm finally right... no one would ever know... really... So how about it? Eh?)
-
Anik:
You have me pegged exactly: a cold, cold-hearted man. (But isn't the "cold, cold-hearted" more than a little redundant?)
However, the Tarnowiec label is the best offer I've had today, but, typically of men (cold, cold-hearted), I'm not quite sure what the offer is.
Now the puzzle. No, still wrong.
David

Could this be Stourbridge
-
I am wondering if fazzoletto is a clue or a red herring?
It looks a nicely made piece of glass from planet earth.......... This is a puzzle... so is Scandinavian a possibility?
Robert (bOBA)
-
Robert:
I'm amazed once again at your knowledge. You are absolutely right, it is glass from the planet Earth. Now can you be a little more specific, and, no, not Scandinavia, and, no, fazzoletto isn't a red herring. Well, not totally.
And not Stourbridge. I wonder who in Stourbridge you were thinking of?
David

...erm...Pilgrim! ::said with a degree of confidence that Max didn't feel at all as what she knows about Pilgrim can be written on a stamp::: :24:

Max
Some of the world's greatest truths have been written on a stamp. Sorry, not this stamp.

According to ebay there all Venini? what about the other 'Murano' the Murano artisans of Brazil ;D
Chris
-
And there there is that other Murano in Venezuela, ICET, and others, I'm sure.
But, no, not Brazil.
David
-
Hmm. It has been formed from a slumped round shape rather than square, and the former (which created the base) is square rather than round. Blenko? Bischoff? Tiffin? Viking? Not lumpy enough to be my fave Japanese company.
Pah. It's Rainbow Glass on one of their good days.
-
Cathy:
Excellent thinking. The base is perfectly round, though. And, no to all of these companies. I'll put a picture of the base on tomorrow to see if that helps.

Merci, mais non.

Ha :X: :X: -- Chalet ??? like this one ??????? (http://cgi.ebay.com/Chalet-Art-Glass-Cranberry-SIGNED-Handkerchief-Vase-/200505675844?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2) because (maybe) where your location *helps* to identify the first possible place to look -- as posted in the Cafe (about Profile Options).....
Close. or left field.... :huh:
-
And I shall throw Poland in
-
Oh, I like your answer, Margi :rah: (But I'm sure we can count on David coming in and giving us a big fat NO :cry:)
-
I think the reference to Stourbridge was suggesting Richardsons - in the latter part of the C19 they produced some real mouth watering j.i.p pieces with lovely Cranberry/opalescent shaded rims.
But, back to the handkerchief vase...........has anyone suggested Taiwan?
-
:huh: :huh: :huh:
Why are you saying here that it's NOT Tarnowiec, (which is what I strongly suspect myself) but in the cafe, you confess that it is????
That's cheating!
Here's my big tarnowiec fazzoletto - labelled, it's fancier than yours :P
I use it as the wastepaper bin in the downstairs loo.

And this is the enormous Tarnowiec vase (labelled) which is the wastepaper bin in the upstairs loo.
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b227/chopin-liszt/261663b2.jpg
Both contain the inside cardboard from a toilet roll - to give an idea of dimensions. :usd:
-
He's teasing Anik, who is so "desperate to win" she's trying to bribe David and wanting send him a Tarnowiec label to stick on it. Scroll up.
-
But she did win, I did read the stuff above!
-
No one's won yet, honest :hug:
No trips to the beach or anywhere yet. Anik and Rose: you're a little off base.

:usd: Sue gets the prize for actually reading all the threads. ;D :rah: :rah:
Now I get the reference to the beach in the Fazzoletto thread. What a horrible thing to happen on holiday, to happen anywhere, for that matter. It's a long recovery, if I remember. New pieces of glass definitely help speed up the recovery process.
And, yes, the fazzoletto is Tarnowiec (but don't tell anyone else).
David
-
Sue, your vases are lovely! And I agree with you -- David's vase certainly has a Tarnowiec look to it... I think the poor guy is just confused :usd: Maybe someone should break it to him gently... (I'm just teasing :kissy:)
Slightly off topic, it's a shame that Polish (contemporary) glass is so under-rated. I think you can find a lot of high-quality pieces -- pieces which can certainly be mistaken for 'fancier' labels.
-
We seem to be running out of planet for the attribution of this one. Apart from Greenland and a few other places..... any chance it is Scottish somehow, by persons of Italian descent?
Robert (bOBA)
-
Christine is right about my response to Anik. Because of an unexpected and totally out of character burst of empathy, I decided to rewrite history for Anik and call it Tarnowiec. This morning my empathy has evaporated, however. It's not Tarnowiec.
Perhaps before I get accused of simply trying to run up the number of posts I've made, I should give you a clue and show you a picture of the base.
Any comments?
David
-
:thud:
Ok, why are you now saying it IS Tarnowiec - again? You used a double negative.
If you'd wanted to emphasise it's "not-ness" you should have said "it's not not not Tarnowiec". (3 nots)
then you show a chalet mark on it's bum...... :nix:
I completely agree with Anik about contemporary Polish glass not being properly recognised.
:kissy: It's wonderful stuff!
-
I hope you have not just taken 3 hours to put Chalet and Canada on there with talcum powder and a tiny brush!!
A good puzzle that one, David, it looks nothing at all like Chalet!!!! The last place I would have guessed, even after Greenland, Papua etc...
well, well, well. It must have been a fleeting production!!!
Robert (bOBA)
-
Sue:
I'm so glad that I appointed you my editor a few threads ago. Typing error corrected.
David
-
Aw nuts >:(
I thought that 'Chalet' was just too obvious, and that Rose was looking too close to home.
Not that I want to be a sore loser or anything, but I'm not impressed -- not impressed in the least.
P.S. David, maybe your 'not not Tarnowiec' was not a typing error, but a sign that subliminally, you really did want me to win... I always knew you were a sweetheart :kissy:
-

:24: :24: That's a good one!

:24:
It was indeed!
bOBA, Italians in scotland tend to make ice-cream more often than glass, :-\
(Franco Toffolo has retired completely and moved to england, though I would not have put this piece beyond him - he could be very......... exuberant sometimes!)
The Ysarts were Spanish.

Robert,
Why spend three hours with a paint brush when you can photoshop it in two minutes? Look at the photo closely. (Only joking, Sue!)
I thought it was good example of companies breaking away from what you expect of them. This just doesn't look like Chalet. I'd guess it's later Chalet when they were trying to find a different market. Here's another example of Chalet trying something different.
Pina has a picture of this piece in Fifties Glass, btw.
Thanks to everyone for the humour and intelligent guessing. Now I'm off to find a piece from Papua New Guinea for Robert.

Ha :X: :X: -- Chalet ??? like this one ??????? (http://cgi.ebay.com/Chalet-Art-Glass-Cranberry-SIGNED-Handkerchief-Vase-/200505675844?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2) because (maybe) where your location *helps* to identify the first possible place to look -- as posted in the Cafe (about Profile Options).....
Close. or left field.... :huh:
I think Rose won this one
-
Sue:
You're absolutely right, again. I never saw Rose's post for some reason, but she is the clear winner. Thank goodness I didn't stretch out the contest longer. The person selling the fazzoletto on eBay has a few pieces in the Chalet exhibition I wrote about in the glass cafe.
I paid nowhere near $350 for my piece, just in case anyone doubted my Scottish thriftiness, or sanity.
Congratulations, Rose.

:rah: :rah: :rah: Whata win? Whata Win? Whata Win?
Gee, I had even guessed Lorraine quite a few posts ago too...then I thought.....Gee, I wonder IF it had something to do with YOUR LOCATION as in Profile. I did not think at first it did -- but then I was wondering if the name Fazzoletto WAS to throw us off....then also YOUR location...and just how much have your Location in your Post Does Help.
YIPEE>>>>.....>>>>>>>>>.........>>>>>>>> :phew: too much running around being excited here LOL

Congratulations Rose :clap: you always make me smile :24:

Well done Rose :sun:

Rose, that's two quizzes you've won in succession!!! You're getting too good at this lark!!! Congratulations gal. :kissy:

Ooooh, Rose I'm impressed. And looking forward to our :cheers:
