Title: Clear glass bottle with dimple edges,feels like a quality piece?
Post by: kitty-kat1234 on July 10, 2011, 08:19:52 AM

Hi,i bought this because it was different & i hoped it maybe something alittle special.
Going through different sites i thought i found something very similar but i cant remember where  :thud:
It has dimples to each side,very hard to provide photo's so i hope you can see them ok.
Any help would be fab cheers kat.

Hi,
german glassworks ´Friedrich Kristall´ and ´Ingridglas´ made quite a few dimpled
designs in the 60´s and 70´s. I´d tend towards Friedrich for your vase, but I don´t
know, if they ever had names for their patterns and series.
You´ll find a few further Friedrich designs on Jan Kilian´s site:

and some in my webalbum.

It is a vase, or is it a carafe (tumble up) missing its glass?

Thanks for the help ;D
I will check that out re german glass,wish i was better at keeping tabs on sites i visit  ::)

Lustrousstone i'm pretty sure its a bottle/vase & so no lid & does not show signs of one being used.
The one i saw which was the same had no lid either,i just have to keep searching & hope i come across the site again.


Cheers to both off you,kat

The glass fits over the neck, so there wouldn't be any sign of a lid. Here's a random example http://www.westwall.com/images/A090529/Glass_-_Depression_-_Tumble-up.jpg
