Title: Spiral emerald, cased in clear, specimen vase with 6-lobed base
Post by: kmax70 on September 15, 2010, 11:39:44 AM

This is an intriguing vase approx. 11 in (28 cm) tall which I has been handed in for selling on Ebay for a charity.   The stem is a spiral twist of emerald green glass which seems to be cased in clear glass, and then each of the 6 lobes of the spiral have "run down" to make a chunky base.  The glass at the rim is approx. 0.25 cm thick - it is a sold, chunky piece of glass.  Any help on this id would be very welcome.

Hi there:
Not sure who made it, but kinda reminds me of my Clear vase (here): http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,33850.0.html  Mine also has 6 lobes too, but clear. 

Your top opening (inside) looks a bit thicker....and your bottom has a slight twist to it, where mine does not.  Mine is about 12 inches tall, but I should check my measurements, as sometimes I am too much in a hurry when I measure....LOL

The bases look similar to me....but I do not know who made it...but they (kinda) look related.....Maybe ???

Thanks - does look similar.  The base on mine is clear and the stem is this emerald green.   It is quite heavy.   I expect that page you sent from a previous discussion is as close as we will both get to an id!   All the best,  KathleenM.

Hi there -- mine too has some weight to it.  I think they are rather *pretty* --  being so streamlined, IMHO...  ;)

Yes - I think they look quite classy.

I see these all the time here in the UK in charity shops, I think they are Far Eastern production, maybe Chinese!

Thanks every one for all your help.   At least I now know how to describe it - if I even bother to list it.   KathleenM.
