Title: Please help - mystery green vase. ID = Gordiola
Post by: Jazzy64 on March 21, 2015, 02:48:08 PM
Hi all,

Please can anyone help to identify this footed vase? 

It stands approximately 6 inches (15 cms) tall and is approximately 4 inches (10 cms) at the widest point.

There are 5 separate bands of Rigaree work around the vase.

The vase has a hot worked finished lip and a small broken pontil mark to base.

Many thanks to all replies in advance.  :)

J

It is a bit on the dark side so not sure - but at least the colour looks very Empoli verde.

Hi

The colour is deep emerald green and is very reminiscent of 1920's.  The foot is applied a little off centre.  There is a fair amount of age related wear to the base which I couldn't photograph due to the limitations of GMB with size of photo's.

The glass itself, feels a very good quality glass.

Doe this information help?

Kind Regards

J

Hi,
It looks very much like the decanter described as a Gordiola 'Menade' decanter, pictured in lot 6370 here : http://www.twgaze.co.uk/auction/lots/?id=742&currentpage=10
without the very fancy stopper.
Regards
Nick
