Title: Lightweight/ Iridescent? No 9.
Post by: vintageartglass on August 15, 2015, 08:56:39 PM

Hello,

I recently bought a small oddment of a 20th century glass collection as I wanted one of the paperweights among it to add to my collection of rare British paperweights.

I am finding it very difficult to research a few of the items in the collection, as I have found the same objects to be attributed to several different makers / nationalities, mostly czech or murano and I am unsure which to believe and it has been difficult to find a definitive answer.

I am hoping there will be some assured expertise here to help me to identify these vases with more certainty.

I can only add to the confusion. To me hollow blown vases with an iridescence are from Belgium. I have similar items in amethyst, dark blue, green and clear. I have also a clear iridescent perfume which I know to be French, but it is of heavier construction, so French it is not.
