Title: Riihamaki green glass vase?
Post by: palo400 on March 03, 2013, 03:54:35 PM

Hello

Trying to find something out about this vase. Heavy (over 2kg) green glass cased vase.
My first thoughts was Riihamaki as it's the same shade of green as my other pieces.
Stands 20cm high 15.5cm widest diameter nice shaped piece with polished rim and plenty of agewear on the base.
Drawing a blank on pinning it down to maker or where it's from.

Thanks.

Possibly made for Waterford and called Marquis, can be found in various shapes and colours, many with etched mark on base. First example has made in Poland sticker too:
