Title: Blue vase ,Victorian?
Post by: bat20 on July 27, 2014, 10:16:34 AM

Hi all,this vase is 20 cm with a broken pontil and alot of wear to the base,if it is old it's amazing the branch bit is still in tact,i'm guessing it's for hanging a piece jewelery and holding a single flower,maybe Bohemian although the rim is rounded,any thoughts many thanks.

It was probably part of a set/pair of vases linked by glass or metal chains and I might veer more towards English

Thanks Christine,sorry about the quality of the photo,using my phone at the moment,the extrusion is the celery type texture and i remember someone on here saying that's 1870's ish if English,i think i've seen the type of glass you describe,would it have been for some sort of table decoration?

I'm not sure the celery effect is exclusively English but yes likely part of a table decoration

It's quite amusing the straight laced victorians should have such a phallic symbols on the dinning table ;)
