Title: ID help please - Vallerysthal vase? ID = Portieux (1914)
Post by: jugendstil1066 on June 06, 2016, 03:50:52 PM
Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum and don't know much about glass. I purchased this beautiful yellow vase for $8 at a yard sale the other day - I loved the snake that twines around it! Like I said, I know little about glass, but to me it looked like Vallerysthal. An internet search revealed two identical vases - one in blue that had been listed on Ebay in Germany (that seller thought it might be Fenton) and another in green, currently listed on Ebay by a seller in India. That seller says her vase is indeed Vallerysthal. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

There's a similar vase over here http://opaline.defoire.pagesperso-orange.fr/opale/index (http://opaline.defoire.pagesperso-orange.fr/opale/index), just one bar up from the bottom but the owner of the site doesn't know who it's by. Available in 4 colours and the theme, or decor, can be found back on a Baccarat vase from 1870 and a vase by Sars-Poteries from 1885, but that doesn't mean it's one or the other of course.

Just noticed that the link doesn't work ...  ::) ... on the left you have the menu, click on Collection, then on vases nr 5 ... your vase is at the bottom.
