Title: Heavy glass vasse with bubbles, I like help reading the signature.
Post by: SveziaJonas on February 07, 2019, 08:12:11 PM

Hello,
I have this vase, I find it hard to read the marking.
It says "4-9 K. something xs383"
I hope anyone knows what it says.
Maybe someone knows the maker and furnace?

Kind regards
Jonas

I'm afraid I don't know?,but it would be interesting to have a image of the base if you could please.

Hello,
It has an interesting base, it has a hole in the mittle.
My interest are Murano and Swedish glass and they don't have holes..:)

Ahhh but not all Chinese glass is of lesser quality Jonas. :) Take a peek at this example for starters.... https://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,3385.0.html

The style of the glass reminds me of some Nuutajarvi work.

Thank you, I will look at that.
I know I have seen it before, if it is a Finnish signature they usually are all very hard to read...:)

It's the complex bubbly bits and internal work that remind me of Nuutajarvi.
I've been shown bits at fairs by a friend who is a serious Nuutajarvi collector.

I think the signature says WMF glas Karl Wiedmann Geislingen.
👍😀
German vase

I think you're right.  ;D
That would also explain the superior quality and those fabulous bubbles.
How thrilling to have a piece with his signature on - will you be checking records to be absolutely sure?

Hello,
I am sure it is his signature, now when I know what to look for.
If you search for "Signierte Gral-Glas Entwurf Karl Wiedmann"
Or. "Gral Glas Dürnau Corona Unikat Design Karl Wiedmann Signiert"
The vase is more likley from Gralglas.
I am searching..:)
