Title: Bohemian flattened vase?
Post by: bat20 on May 15, 2015, 04:51:10 PM: Hi all,I found this on my lunch break today and I can't quite get my head around it,loads of wear to the base with a polished Pontil and mould blown ,the smoke glass looks 50's,60's,and the decoration late Victorian,I can see a shadow of the gold lustre that would have made up the branches joining the flowers and leaves,it's about 12cm ht,any ideas thanks.

Post by: bat20 on May 19, 2015, 08:08:29 PM: Sorry to upset you Kevin,what I was trying to say,very badly I admit,was I looked into other French glass makers after Chris thought this piece had similar colour to some Auguste Jean pieces,I came across someone suggesting to another person posting a piece with similar colour to mine to look at the glass made by Clichy,Pantin and Baccarat with enamel decoration,I couldn't find any online so I thought I'd post here just in case,I hope this makes more sense to you :
