Title: Bohemian orange vase?
Post by: malcmat on September 01, 2013, 01:49:41 PM

Hi, this orange vase with a gilt coloured flower holder is one of the items I am still trying to I/D. It has a fluted body 5.250 inches tall and 5.50 inches dia. Fire polished base and ware marks . I am thinking bohemian but not sure. The colour is bright orange and not the yellow orange on the images.
Many thanks
Malc

....and I think Keith is correct too.....LOL

I think these are called POSY VASE as I have a couple also.  See  HERE  (http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,45224.msg252426.html#msg252426) and  HERE  (http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,44308.msg246861.html#msg246861) as Keith has some and other members too.  Some Good reading there too.

My guess would be that it was made 1930's // 1940's era.

Also See Wayne's site  **HERE  (http://www.20thcenturyglass.com/glass_encyclopedia/bohemian_glass/tango_glass.htm)



Would be nice to start a topic for the *designs* of the metal frogs on them.....to see if then certain makers did focus on certain Metal frog design......or just a reference for the designs of the metal frogs used on these.  Just a thought....
