Title: Iridescent pink perfume bottle with possible mark?
Post by: chasdevlin on May 25, 2022, 06:29:19 PM

Hi
Picked up this rather pretty perfume bottle (I expect, although it has no stopper). Swirls of pinks and cranberry and a lovely greenish iridescence that the photos haven't fully captured. There seems to be a D and a U or N embossed into the pontil mark, although staring into pontil marks can be like staring into clouds - you can see all sorts of things if you want to, so I can't decide whether it's deliberate.
I'm aware there are many studio makers making similar pieces but haven't been able to tie this down.
Height of 8 cm, width of 9cm..
Thoughts welcome!

Midsummer Glass maybe worth checking out.

Thanks Greg, you may be right.
The colour and surface texture are pretty much the same  to the one posted here:

Midsummer gets my vote too.  :)

It is a vase, Midsummer for sure - not unusual for there to be no rising sun prunt covering the pontil mark.

It looked like the kind of opening that should have a stopper.
Thanks for IDing this everyone.

The rim is heat finished and not ground inside the neck for a stopper. This is a fairly typical shape for Midsummer, no missing stopper. It is a complete vase.  :)
