Title: Vase with facets, maker sought
Post by: David E on March 28, 2016, 02:17:33 PM

I just saw an almost identical vase listed here, which is the website of one of our members, Kees (KC - nice site):
http://www.midcentury-kc.com/leerdam/21-leerdam-uranium-vase-nr-8216.html

However, differences to the one pictured there are:
Height: 16.3cm
Diameter (rim): 13.4cm
Weight: 954gms

So I assume the height of 26.3cm was a typo. I don't have access to the Leerdam books here just the Copier ones, so I have no idea what the Facet range comprised of. Nothing on Jay's website (http://www.hogelandshoeve.nl/index041.html) either. Can anyone confirm this, please?

Oh dear, another pattern for me to get confused with Jacobean/Lord - Davidson/Inwald.  ;D

Not to worry Sue, this is no Leerdam and quite certainly not facet.

Am I being slow and dense? ;D
Is it Lord? :-[
I can't ever remember seeing Jacobean with castellations around the top.

Inwald Lord has castellations.

I thought so. So is this item shown, Lord?
(sorry, I am being slow and dense!)

I thought it was.... but not so sure now.  The trick is to google "H2 collectie"  and you will get a number of these vases, all auctioned by Catawiki, which seems to be the only source of information.
I don't know anyone who has ever seen the 1935 catalogue.
The item is allegedly by Copier - but it is not in the Copier book.
The item is pressed glass - but it is not in the pressed glass catalogue either.
Also, it was rather "inspired" by Lord - so you're entitled to be confused. They would not have been proud of it, like they still look at the ceiling when you mention carnival glass....

These two I picked up last week. Not Lord then.

I had already discounted Copier as I had already looked through the big book. The pressing is of a high standard though, and a Czech/Bohemian attribution wouldn't surprise me.

Well, thanks for the progress so far and perhaps this needs shifting to the Glass section?

If the base or the base rim is polished super shiny, that would support an Inwald attribution

It is ground very smooth, but not polished.

Creamer, bowl and tray in the same pattern, this time with the name Alexander thrown in, examples out there in the pale green uranium, amber and also this brown colour:

I have a vase matching David's in the original post and wondered if this id was ever resolved?

Thanks John, this set has the same castellations and star-base, so I'm confident it is from the same maker. Again, it suggests an attribution of Leerdam, so I'll have to check for this 'Alexander' pattern when I'm back in Holland.

Ivo's bowls have an impressed star base too. Good luck over the water, hopefully there is reliable information out there somewhere.

Will do. Patricia has several books on Leerdam and Maastricht glass.
