Post by: retro-mental on November 14, 2010, 04:21:08 PM
Hi

I bought this from a charity shop and cannot id it. Not sure if it is old or new. It is a large 19 inch tall bottle vase , clear glass cased in silver /  pewter colour with the inside cased in white. It has a large polished pontil mark to the base

Many thanks for any info

Currently available in Ikea I think.... Decorative but no great value.

Cheers John

Have you seen these in ikea ?

I have just looked at there site and cannot see this vase. It does look like something they would produce but the colour / quality and polished pontil mark is not something I have seen them do. My partner bought it for me so i can at least tell her i think its swedish !!!!

I have seen similar there, but maybe they did not have white interiors.

Back to the drawing board....

Contemporary Polish would probably be closer the mark.
