Title: Is this Vase Scandinavian or A N Other ???
Post by: artyroy on February 20, 2011, 02:51:47 PM: Hi You Good People of GMB
Once again I call upon all of you with superior knowledge for some help in identifying this piece of glass. I have here this vase which stands at 6" high , is encased in a clear with a green inner core , which is highlghted with a fizz of frosty air bubbles , it has a clear base which has a hole and a formed bubble interior , it looks like it could be an opening for a small burner ??? I have included a base shot ... I will thank you all now for any information regarding this item , I am looking to sell this piece so any info would be gratefully recieved ..Regards Roy (artyroy)

Thanks for the rapid reply , the top is finished in a smooth ground finish which shows the clear and the green glass , I have attached a top photo now but it does not do the piece justice ,,, thank you Roy

Questions, questions.

There are clear glass versions of this marketed as "Krosno" from Poland that I have often seen here in Melbourne. I think "Krosno" may be from the same stable as "Josefina/Jozefina" glass also marketed here.
