Title: Help ID this vase
Post by: Tungsten on February 17, 2013, 04:24:13 PM

Hello,

Can someone give me some information about this vase? Who has made it, and how old is it? It is 24cm in height.

Thanks in advance.

OMG you found the moose on the table as thy say in Canada. Here we would say the elephant in the room - everybody is aware of it but nobody acknowledges it. These were around when I started collecting glass, way back in prehistoric times - but nobody knew, no stickers, nothing. Here they are known as cabbage trunks - for lack of better. But I did see a Czech woman collect them systematically on a fleamarket - so she must have known about these....
