Is this Walther?
« on: April 21, 2011, 01:44:00 PM »
Good afternoon !
I purchased this vase last week on ebay as a Czech Deco glass vase.Very similar in shape to Walthers Greta vase.
Is it Walther?
Thanks in advance for any input.
Best wishes Nige

Hi Wayne
Wow that's gorgeous in green! I had a strong feeling it could be Walther as it looks so much like the Great vase but was confused with the flowers on the sides.
Walther still remains my favourite glass wish I had all their pieces! lol
Thanks Wayne

Hi
Thanks to both of you for the terrific information....the amber is even nicer!
Was this vase made in 1954 instead of the 1930s?
Cheers Nige
