You will find a lot of their vases on ebay.de - as an example have look at ebay nr. 162358058861

Thanks. That does mean we should be including uk makers. It's not as if glass does not travel, but it's more likely you'll find uk made glass in the uk than in the states.

Sorry, but i don't understand what you mean. I am talking about a german maker and surely it could be that someone took this item to the UK or Austen even exported directly to the UK. But at the moment we still don't know if it was made by Austen or not. It's only an idea, a possibility :-)

Regards
Micha

I was talking to the OP, explaining why I'd butted in and asked for his location, sorry.

I wasn't joining in the identification process which you were helping with. :)

Post by: djkglass on January 22, 2017, 12:34:07 PM: Thanks for all your replies, had a look at Franz Austen but again seems like most pieces are signed, also most pieces appear to be the same colour throughout whereas this piece has a milky white interior. I've looked into Okra further but again see no pieces with a coloured interior, stumped. :(

this has a strong resemblance to one of the Loetz Phaenomen genre. Very nice.

Kind regards

Post by: djkglass on January 23, 2017, 09:21:36 PM: Hi Andrew,

Thanks very much, i've had a look and yes it does look similar to Loetz Phaenomen Genre pieces, do you or does anyone know a Loetz specialist who could confirm this?

Many thanks

facebook has an active loetz scene who enjoy sharing their knowledge...also worth checking out is www.loetz.com.

However many of the best are on here...so maybe an edit to add " Loetz ???? " to the subject area may help. :-)

With kind regards

Andrew

Post by: djkglass on January 25, 2017, 02:17:43 PM: Hi everyone,

Thanks for adding Loetz to the title but i have just been in contact with a Loetz expert and they have confirmed it is not a Loetz piece, pack to the drawing board!
