I've reached a dead end on this one. I feel sure it is Bohemian (always open to correction though). It is 10" tall or just over, well made, the rim is cut and bevelled. Mould blown and very neat mould base, those concentric circles again. Cased clear over marbled over white interior. Of note is that I would not consider it lightweight at all, it is substantial glass, yet it feels to weigh less than my 7"/8" Loetz Carneol marbled vase of similar shape. By comparison the Carneol vase feels as though someone has filled it with a paperweight. Much heavier again glass.
Does anyone recognise the shape please? Unfortunately I've failed to save a pic of the base but will add one later.
thanks for looking :)

I'd go with Bohemian also,who I couldn't say I presume you've tried Kralik glass,com and Alfredos site,great vase ;D ;D
-
thanks Keith. I've had a good search looking for the shape really. It's not iridescent and feels I guess, to date design wise, from around 1885 ish a similar time to the Carneol piece. I thought it might be Harrach perhaps but I can't match the shape at all.
I need to get better pictures loaded but the swirl design is a nightmare to photograph. I've also 'lost' the base and rim pics somewhere on my new computer and can't find where they've gone so I can upload them...I wish I was more technically minded lol.

You and me both,I can only just 'cut and paste' ::) ;D ;D
-
aha, worked out how to re-import them finally
hopefully better pictures :)
-
one more which is a picture of the true colours in the base that can't be seen on the pic above.

Had a good look through Truitts and apart from the similar Loetz pieces,like the one you posted,the only other is a piece on page 63,bottom right,different shape and not so elegant,maybe Craig will pop in,unless he's out on his Harley! ;D ;D
-
Great minds ;D I thought so too re page 63. It's the closest I can find to this in terms of decor.
OK,I'll keep looking for the shape and keep an eye out to try and find another in this decor.
Thanks for looking

I'm wondering if anyone has seen any Ceonix glass pieces by Richardson?

Snap: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kingofbananas/4035218375/ - I never did manage to identify mine, though it is obviously a good quality piece...
-
thanks Steven :) I love the pinks and reds. Mine has those in but is mostly caramel colours.
I'm pretty sure it is Bohemian as well, but just thought I'd see what the Richardson Ceonix looked like if anyone knew.

There is a picture of two small 'marbled' vases on page 108 of 'British Glass 1800-1914' by Hajdamach,similar but difficult to say without handling ;D
-
those are the ones I'd remembered, but I can't see they have the same thickness of the outer marbled casing, and yes it is just difficult to know without seeing them for real.
Thanks for looking again for me though :)

Just got back from a ride on the Harley..... :-) I think Bohemian also, but other than that I do not know who.....
-
Thanks :) would be envious of the Harley if we had decent enough weather here ;D

M, I live in Seattle...... We have basically the same weather you do... I ride when I can..... which means when it is not raining.... Sunny days are just a bonus..... It is my new toy I just got a couple of months ago..... Really fast and really noisy..... kind of a reward for enduring my injuries and the 2 year recovery ;D
-
I used to fall off my bike (one with pedals!) those Harleys weigh a ton,I helped a biker fit his chain back on,years ago I could barely hold it up ::) ;D ;D
-
My tricycle threw me head-first over the handlebars and into the road (yes, ::) splitting my skull open).
I decided any sorts of wheels and I should part company there and then.
It's great to hear you're well enough to do what you love again, Craig. 8) 8) 8)
And these bottles can come and live on top of my kitchen cupboards anytime!
-
thanks Sue :) they are rather beautiful colours.
Craig, likewise from me, it's good hear you are well enough recovered to be able to regain the sense of freedom a bike gives.
My cousins are all bikers and one rode the Isle of Man race two years ago to fulfil his dream. Scared him witless though.

Thanks for the thoughts.... it has taken a long time to get here.....
M, The adrenalin rush is all part of riding..... I could not ride a bike like they use in the Isle of Man race though, my knee does not bend far enough for that type of bike.... I am stuck riding big loud Harley's..... :-) Oh poor me.....
