Title: Vintage blue glass vase
Post by: Johnd231159 on April 21, 2015, 08:06:37 AM

hi everyone I'm trying to identify a glass vase left to me by a dear Aunt
It looks quite old but can't seem to track it down It has no markings but
Looks handmade as it's not symmetrically perfect. There are no marking
It's 10 inches tall and 7.5 5.5 top and bottom and weighs approx 1.7 kilos
Any help would be greatly appreciated
John

First of all, let me welcome you to the glass message board. We hope you'll have a lot of fun here.
Your vase is fab! Looks like gluechip, a technique mainly used for flat glass. Gluechipping has been around since 1891 (patent date) and was used by the Boom glass factory in Belgium in the 1930s under the name "dentelle". There have been other makers who used the process (I think Moser did) but information on this particular subject is hard to find.

Lets hope somebody else (glue) chips in.
