Title: Mottled blue cased vase Scandinavian or Czech or something else
Post by: depacotille on June 14, 2011, 07:54:08 PM: Hello everybody

I have a new purchase and im wondering if any of you can help

It appears to be retro in origins, it certainly had a whole heap of dust and dirt on it when I bought it, so im hoping its older than it may look

I have included on the photo a close up of the glass that shows bubbles within the mottled effect.

If you have any clues or help as to manufacturer or origins that would be a massive help

Thank you in advance

Kind Regards

Ashley

No idea here, but a photo of the base could be of help to probably identify ;)

I'd guess at Italian/Empoli too.
