Hello Malc,
Thank you for your reply.
I have added a picture of the base (it has a polished base - not sure if the picture is clear) - it os 9 inches (23cm) dia approx.
Thank you

No markings whatsoever? Going right out on a limb, it looks a bit like Jane Charles' work.

I may be completely wrong. :)

TK Maxx, made in China (have seen this particular design before a few times). Lots of these big, thick and heavy items around now, nice and decorative, they are not usually made with much finesse though.

I did wonder - but decided there was rather more "finesse" than usual, hence the JC suggestion. :-[
I haven't seen these in TKMaxx ... yet

Thanks

I thought this had been positively id'd as contemporary Chinese?
They really are improving a lot now! This is lovely.

Thanks Sue,
Thank you for your reply
No it had not been positively advertised as Chinese - someone thought it might be an English Artist (can't remember who she said now), but when I checked her work I could find nothing similar.
The Chinese does turn out a large amount but it isn't really a Chinese iconic flower in the design but maybe it is. It is particularly well made, the glass is also very good and it is exceptionally heavy; I am more steered to European more (but again it isn't signed and I am dating it 1970+ because of the other pieces I obtained in the same collection which were all 60's-70's).
Thanks again

I also think these are Chinese. I think we've had one on the site before with similar flowers.
They are beautiful - I nearly bought one a few years ago and decided not and wish I had now.
Are the 'flowers' made with millefiori?

Maryam, I've merged your original request with the one from today as duplicate requests for the same item confuse us.

hi again everyone,
Thank you for all your help (sorry John I missed your help back in December)
From the supurb Walter Giltert Sculpture to now the TK MAXX both ends of the spectrum, sorry for asking but happy at the result.
How one name can make a big difference. I searched (TK MAXX Glass) last night - I found some similar ones being sold in a London Boutique (via an internet search) and saw a similar one in the backround of one of the photos, obviously all they said about the pieces were 'hand blown'.
Thank you all again - I will be listing it at half the price I found probably this weekend on Ebay but i have just weighed it and before packing it weighs an astonishing 4 kilos almost so international shipping will be high.
Kindest Regards

For competitive prices on heavy parcels for domestic and international post I always check: http://www.parcel2go.com/
There are other brokers offering the same service too.

Thanks John,
Yes I have looked at them before - for international I use Transglobal (if EEC country I try to use someone else out of protest because for these their quotes do not include VAT, and i believe they should be transparent).
Last month I had to send a good Maling Bowl to southern Ireland I couldn't get it delivered for less than about £25, in the end the client had it delivered to Northumberland (her Brothers).
Life would be a whole lot easier if we had one shipper to do all our deliveries but like insurance we find you generally have to shop around (obviously we have to do our best for the client even if the are paying for it).
