Title: Clear with pattern Vase has a very German feel? OR scandi...
Post by: Hel on February 23, 2012, 05:32:37 PM

Hi good people, I like this one very much but its hard to get a clear picture!

the pattern goes through, can feel it on the inside, the bottom part is slightly indented.

any thoughts?

its 14,5 cm high

thanks again!

Helga

try using a black/dark grey paper as background colour  -- and have a light source close by with most of the brightness behind the glass.    In front of the glass will only create a glare that will bounce of the glass, and kill the definition/contrast and detail.      With brightness behind the object, much of the light that the camera reads will be seen through the glass in a diffused less sharp way.    Some of the light will bounce off the dark paper, which also helps avoid glare.   Of course, you will need some form of portable light source - a small table lamp or some such.

Very sorry, but unable to help with attribution. :)

It could be German or Scandinavian, but the pattern doesn't really ring a bell style-wise. How thick is it? If it's relatively thick crystal it would make one of those origins more likely.

If it's more of a pressed vase of regular thickness, it could as well be from Fidenza, Oberglas or somewhere French.

well the bottom is the same anyway.

the glass is not thin and not extremely thick, to second picture in my first post should give an idea of thickness.

Thanks again!
