Topic: Bark effect

[Gilead]

Hi members
               While out today i bought several item's mainly paperweights but managed to get hold of 3 vases, this one is of a bark effect clear in apperance but when the light catches it, there is a hint of light brown but could also be lime, looking from the top down it is on every ledge as i would say, it stands 8 1/4ins high is o oval shape due to it's bark effect, any idea what sort of vase this is please,
                                                                                                                                                        Steve

I think these are Ravenhead and date from the 70s.

         Steven, have also been looking at Royal castle Royal Bohemia, but could be 70s

Hi Steve,
"Royal castle Royal Bohemia"
The second of these never existed......http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,746.0.html 
Certainly not Sklo Union, and as Steven suggests... Ravenhead, is the likely candidate...
Regards,

As Marcus says, most likely Ravenhead, Steve. Read this earlier topic by vidfletch to find out more about them: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,5227.0.html

Thank you
                Anne & Marcus having read the link and what as been said they are for sure Ravenhead, which call me silly, i find attractive but the old saying beauty is in the eye of the beholder, i have read a lot of people dont like these, shame, cheers again for all the help,

Steve, there's no need to call you silly; I have to confess I quite like these too, particularly the examples I've seen in blue glass. There is also the advantage that you can use them without worrying too much.
