Title: Tall pressed glass vase with ridges down to six ridged feet
Post by: Anne on July 19, 2013, 06:56:09 PM

Tall pressed glass vase with ridges down to six ridged feet, pinky colour (that peachy pink).

Stands 14 inches tall (35.5cm), with a flat bottom which has been smoothed out but not polished flat. (Forgot a photo of the base - can do one if needed.)

It looks vaguely familiar, but a search of my reference stuff isn't finding it - can anyone remind me who made them please?

Everyone did.  The model seems to originate in bavaria early 20th ct and has been popular since. The most recent influx is from China.
These are available in many sizes, the larger ones are floor vases.

Thanks, Ivo, I'm familiar with the recent Chinese ones (there was one on the shelf in the shop alongside this one today - I don't like them) but this one doesn't seem Chinese. The ridges remind me of some Stoelzle patterns, but I had a niggle that someone else here had asked about one like it recently and I can't find the query... it has some age, and was absolutely filthy when I found it - looked like it'd been stored in a shed or cellar for eons!
