[davem]

Hi , I hope someone can help me with this vase please

Stands a fraction over 8" tall
Green bowl is ribbed
Applied clear base has spiral controlled bubble effect
Some wear to base
Quite heavy glass.

I've searched a lot now , Erickson was the closest I could get .

Many thanks for any help , Dave in Ireland.

I have one of these in turquoise and I'm pretty sure I came across a labelled version for a Portuguese maker.  Is the clear glass on the foot very slightly citrine or yellowy tinted btw?
I'll try and find my link.

Thanks Flying free , now you mention it , yes it has a slight tint  . It's a cool retro shape .. Dave.

Dave sorry, the only reference I can find on the board is me saying I'd seen this identified as Portuguese but that I couldn't remember if the id piece had a label.
I still can't remember but I am 100% sure I id'd my own based on the piece seen and I wouldn't have done if it had not had a Portugal label of some sort.
So I'm sure that's where they both come from - and yes mine has a slightly yellow or pale citrine coloured bubble stem as well.

Information on Portuguese glass is scarce but there is some here on this link - and key words to search might be IVIMA and Atlantis as well as Crisal Portugal if I recall from my searches on something else.

Thanks again Flyingfree , you certainly do not need to apologise as you have been most helpful , I shall investigate a little more . ...
70's would be my guess for age.  Dave.

this is a bubble stem vase being sold in USA.  It has a Napcoware label (US company) but it  also says Made in Portugal. 
Not the same shape as ours but at least proof that bubble stem vases were made in POrtugal    and the bubbles are random.
