Title: Another cased curvy hourglass vase.
Post by: Anne E.B. on August 29, 2021, 12:25:17 PM

Another one of these hourglass vases, my previous one seen here hasn't so far been identified https://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,57580.msg326441.html#msg326441

This one is bigger standing 40cm high and heavier weighing 1744g.

I'm just wondering if it was made in Empoli, or something more modern that may be IKEA would have sold?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I've since seen this design on the web described as Holmegaard, but I personally don't think it is, unless someone knows differently.  The white interior is quite thin unlike my other Holmegaard pieces, and the colour doesn't seem to match any Holmegaard glass that I can find during searches.  Also, it isn't shown on the online Holmegaard museum or hardernet website.  I'm still leaning towards Empoli, but just wondered what anyone else thought?

For what it is worth my guess would be relatively recent production from China. It does not say 70s Empoli to me at all.
