Title: Please help identify this 'double face' white pressed / moulded glass vase
Post by: NancyV on April 08, 2015, 11:21:55 PM

Good morning from Australia …

I am seeking some identification assistance from all of you glass experts out there!

This vase was purchased recently as part of a lot at an auction.  It has no identifying makers mark that I can see.  Sadly it is damaged also.

I believe it is moulded glass but if it is porcelain then please forgive me! It is approx, 15cm tall.

If anyone can provide any insights as to its maker and the period - I would be most grateful.

Welcome to the board. Can we have a base shot please and a close up of the damage, as I suspect this may be porcelain

Here is a base picture and a view looking into the vase showing the chip and start of the crack. 

I will take a better picture of the damage tomorrow (in daylight) and post it.   

I hadn't realised how grubby it was until I looked at those close-ups!!

That's glass; you can see it definitely is on the edge of the base. French perhaps?

Thank you for your help - the pieces are slowing coming together …  (pardon the pun)
