Title: Green Ruffled top edge vase, Bohemian?
Post by: heartofsklo on November 22, 2010, 11:01:08 PM
The vase measures 19cm and the colour is quite bright, not a dark bottle green but not pale like some uranium. The base is broad with the swirls coming to the centre from the outer edge. The centre pontil area appears to have a very slight circular ridge but the swirl lines still go through it to its centre.

Hi nice Vase. 

I have NO idea at all -- but the color just reminded me of those vases from E.O.Brody Glass Co -- but they usually marked I think........and I think they made swirls -- but No ruffles.

So I am clueless (http://www.debook.com/gifs/Maildunno.gif).....and just thinking out loud here...

I quickly found this info re the E.O.Brody Glass Co, it appears that they were not a glass company but simply a distributor, with most of their items possibly made by "Indiana Glass Company" or the "Anchor Hocking Corporation". I will check on those names too.

Hi --

it was just the color that remind me of it -- so most likely wrong as I think E.O Brody usually has a rim on the bottom, and yours does not (at least the zillions of ones I have here).

 So I think (pretty sure) I am Wrong -- as usual.   :spls:  lol

Yes, antiquerose, the colour is very similar. The thing that may give someone more of a clue is the ponyil area, as said, it has a rounded, very faint edge to it, almost as if it was added after blowing and the finish to the swirls were added after. Sounds daft I know but the only way I can explain how it feels. The swirls are continuous though, not stopped and started again.

Now I have probably confused the issue still further  :cry:
