Good evening my frends,
i have another question.
I belong a handblown glass vase with footrests and a pontil on the bottom.
Color light green (not annagreen)
Heigth 15 cm, diameter 10 cm, diameter end neck 7,5 cm.
And of the neck 7-angular.
Does somebody recognise this vase?
Is it old or looks it old?

this colour was uncommon, but was used c. 1890 for small flower vases and similar shapes. Dirt in the crevices of the rigaree around the lower part of the neck - wear on the extremities of the pincered feet, and general wear on the high parts of the body ........ should all indicate this to be antique. Without such indications this could well be modern. The pontil ideally should be snapped and remain sharp. So, not Annagrun or Annagelb - what a shame ;D The top rim appears to have been re-struck at the furnace - there is some opaque look.

Hello Paul, thanks for your answer.
Indeed there is some wear on the footrests and the vase has some little scratches, so it is not brandnew.
I am not sure it is Antique.
Perhaps there is someone else who have seen ofter such a vase.
Greetings, Egbert

As Paul says it is from around 1880-1900 and possibly by Richardson or one of several other factories around Stourbridge. Here's a link to one I posted earlier which I thought might be by Smart Brothers.

Very likely English; this light green with opalescence is quite common but there are so many English makers we know little about and not all English Victorian glass was made in Stourbridge
