Any thoughts if this is an inside out vase in the true sense.
thanks Chris

I do not consider these to be inside-outs, although I suppose some others might. There is no definition written down anywhere.
I consider inside-outs to be the thin ones, sometimes with the prunt on just a teal body with an inside layer of frothy yellow, if later.
These Tiger ball vases are post-Harris, the design by Eric Dobson and are really lovely incredibly thick lumps of glass.
Not that common, but I do have three of them. I like Tiger - but not the later much flatter Marble with the pale background.
Some might, I suppose, consider them to be "paperweight vases".
Theya re actually a good bit bigger than proper inside-outs.

Tiger ball in Suzy's album sounds good to me ;D

It's what I've always called them, although it is not any official name. I would imagine Suzy calls them that because I did. I really can't remember when we started calling them that. We came up with all sorts of names for things in order to describe what it was we were discussing, before any official names were known.
