Title: Any ideas on this cased hourglass vase please?
Post by: createdbear on August 03, 2019, 08:50:03 PM
I picked this vase up today and am wondering if anyone can ID it. Green and white cased glass...rather Scandinavian in its appearance but I've had a look thru the pics on a glass website and can't find it. Height is 30 cm or just under 12 inches. I'm not sure if its a vintage piece or whether it's modern...IKEA type of thing. As always, grateful thanks for any info.

Hi Catshome,
Have popped a pic of the base on. Plain really with the standing ring being unpolished. The ring is not particularly well finished to be honest as can be seen on the lower right where the finish is a bit uneven.

A better one of the base

[Mod: the image shown has been removed as it was for the base of a smilar item by Anne E.B. (see below).]

I never did find out about mine seen here [Mod: Link was incorrect, please see later post for correct link]
Hopefully someone will be able to ID this great looking vase.

Japanese perhaps from the base

Thanks Lustrous. I had wondered if it was an option. I was dismissing Scandy due to the base but had wondered about Italian and of course Japanese is a possibility. The top and body are good quality and indeed, the top is finished very neatly but ti's that base that, for want of a better phrase, lets it down.

Is this a picture of your vase or a picture of Anne's vase?

Yes, the image was not for the OPs vase. I have removed the image.

createdbear, please add the improved base image for your item.

Hello,
Yes, the 2nd base image was from Anne's vase. Unfortunately, the flash on my camera has stopped working and it is proving difficult to capture a good image. I contacted Anne when I saw she'd put an identical vase on here some years ago. I didn't realise that it was against the rules to use a photo of an identical item. My apologies. I'll try and get a better photo of the base.

Hi Cliff,
Thank you for the suggestion. I had a good look through Alsterfors images but couldn't find one to match mine, although there are pieces that have a similar feel. However, the base doesn't seem right for Alsterfors glass. One of those mysteries I guess!
