Title: scandinavian,czech,french take your pick!!!
Post by: essi on March 29, 2014, 10:25:03 PM

Just wondered if anybody knows anything about this vase.It stands 180 mm tall,120 mm at the base and 53 mm in depth.It has no pattern on the back and no pontil mark on the base.
Any comments about this vase are appreciated.

You forgot Finnish and that is where I would look first.  A photo of the base may help to eliminate some potential makers.

Made me think a little of the Finnish Kumela vases  -  but had a feeling they were either all, or mostly, clear cased, whereas this appears top be without any casing.

sorry it's not very helpful :)

Thanks  for the input,much appreciated.The vase does seem to be single colour.
It is very similar in colour and feel to a riihimaki "kaapikello" vase which i own,which prompted me to buy this vase.I have scoured Finnish glass sites and never seen this model.
Any ideas?
Antwerp,looking back i could have picked a better heading.

On Facebook there is a group 'Finnish design glass lovers' where you might get a more specific and useful response.

The colour reminds me of some Swedish pressed glass such as FÅGLAVIKS GLASBRUK
and the design looks as though it might come from somewhere such as Smålandshyttan, so I would search Swedish.  However I've just had a quick look around and not seen anything to match.  But I would start there :)

I would count Finland out.

Thanks for that px,i suppose Finnish glass is so well documented it would have been flagged up by now.
Over the years of collecting i have never seen or heard of uncatalogued pieces of Finnish glass turn up.
I shall keep looking.
Thanks again.
