Title: ID Help Please - Large Faceted Jade Glass or Uranium vase Victorian ? Bohemian
Post by: stubbsywubsy on September 01, 2014, 06:37:30 PM: Hello,
i have recently acquired this large green glass vase,

it is superb quality, it is facet cut with 12 edges all very crisp and clean.

it is a large piece and i would personally think it is Victorian possibly Edwardian?

it may be uranium glass, but ive seen similar coloured pieces called Jade Glass as they look like Jade.

if anyone could help with an ID or any suggestions at all that would be a great help

thanks in advance
steven

doing a little more research perhaps this is a Moser piece? although compared to similar ones i have seen the base doesn't look the same.

your spot on it seems to be French, i cannot match this particular design to any factory though. which is a shame as it is a very sturdy and well made piece which im sure is by a top maker, just which one?

thanks again

Post by: stubbsywubsy on December 16, 2014, 09:11:30 AM: Hello Simba,
thank you for your suggestion, it does also look like Sandwich glass. i have just send an email to the Sandwich glass museum linking this page and hopefully they could shed some light on this.

Hopefully we will get to the bottom of this!

kind regards steven

Plus when you look at most Sandwich glass you can plainly see a very strong European influence...both French & Bohemian, but I think this one is a bit more sophisticated European in design.

Post by: stubbsywubsy on December 16, 2014, 04:35:04 PM: The Sandwich glass museum have confirmed it is NOT by them, so Back to possibly a French piece then.
