Title: Large green/grey vase ..Leerdam ?
Post by: bat20 on January 06, 2023, 02:26:48 PM

Hi ,this vase is 32 cm high and a green grey colour,fairly wide polished pontil with a lot of wear .My very first thought was a Whitefriats soda glass piece but I’ve moved towards Leerdam ??..anyone got a feeling about this one and a book !?,thanks .

Has something of a Maastricht vibe, pop Rozendaal in the search too.

Yup see what you mean John ,very interesting,especially the influence on the glass to come !,… if we are talking late 20’s /30’s .

It’s been a very useful exercise so far searching for this glass and as usual not straight forward .This type of glass design seems to have been revisited ,but I’m sure this particular piece is earlier production and I’ve been trying to find a similar colour .Another possible suspect could possibly be KPC Basel ,who from what I can make out kicked of the style ?,although his bases are of a different style ?

Here’s a much better depiction of the colour.

I can't find any Maastricht Kristalunie with this colour, not much Leerdam either but there was this, for what it is worth:

Thanks for looking John ,it’s a very distinctive colour and I haven’t found an exact match yet and although it’s very slightly mattish? I don’t think it’s fumed ?Leerdam comes the nearest to a match.It really should have a mark one feels …but !!!

I’ve been living with this vase and it’s subtle colour changes are interesting dependant on types of light
I would say it’s the green in the first of the following pics with a slight background blue with natural light behind it .
