Title: Sklo Union?
Post by: ian67 on November 29, 2016, 10:25:07 AM

I bought this piece from a glass collector at a boot sale but didn't ask where it was it from. From the 'birdbath' base and the design I thought it might be Sklo Union. I looked on Google and eBay and can't see anything similar, so cannot confirm it. Is it Sklo Union? It's 185mm height x 62mm wide. No pressing marks, base corners are ever so slightly worn suggesting some age but otherwise perfect. No makers mark. Many thanks.

Welcome to the message board ian67.

It might well be mould blown rather than pressed, in this case it will be if the shape inside matches the profile outside. I would be looking at German and Austrian companies too.

Many thanks John.
The shape inside does indeed match the profile outside. The curved effect in the base section is due to (subtle) raised 10p sized circular bumps protruding (apps. 2.5mm) from the 4 lowest sides, one on each side. Date wise? Possibly 1960s or 70s perhaps?

All the best,

Ian
