Title: Help with ID on this deco style uranium vase.
Post by: selina on March 03, 2017, 06:36:18 AM

After exhausting how I can search for this and coming to a dead end, it was suggested I post in here for help with an ID.
This very large vase is unmarked and I have had no luck finding a maker or anything even resembling it. High uranium content and deco style fish adorn the sides. Any suggestions welcome as googling 'fish vase' or 'deco fish vase' is tedious and I have checked all books on glass I own.  Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

Barolac (Inwald) for sure. I have a seagulls vase of theirs in the same colour and with identical base finish. I'll take a look and see if I can find yours in the catalogues.

:)

Edited to add: Cat. no. 1924, shown in the 1934 catalogue. Relevant page can be seen here on Pressglas-Korrespondenz

Thank you so much Steven! I had seen another Inwald fish vase, but the shape was more like the 1918 shape so I'd disregarded it. I had just about given up so once again thanks for helping me out :D
