Vase that D555 and I were discussing....
Neither of your vases are SU. poss Czech, but shape precludes hand-pressed, and rather suggests Novy Bor, if Czech.
David's was a discussion of a very different item, displaying significant post forming work.

PS dencill, nicely placed fly to grumpy grayling, did you doubt that I would respond?

Huh 

This is what the link really shows...

And I must say that they really look much more like cups than vases

PS your last post on the Candle Wax topic has me very puzzled, bewildered and worried for you!

Carolyn, check the link again. I suspect you looked at Marcus' original dynamic one just as I changed it to the absolute one.

Pointing at a Moravia vase, but not the diamond pattern I'd expect.

Marcus: nah, I never had any doubts!

Just to renew the thread, this is my vase. Cat's is identical but amber. I have seen this pattern somewhere, but whether it's new in a shop or as a picture in a book, I can't remember.
It's not pressed - the diamond relief patterning goes through to the inside of the glass. I'd be interested to know how it's made, even if it turns out to be a piece of modern mass produced glass. The glass is quite thin - at the rim it varies between 2mm and 3mm. It weighs 365 grams and it's 15.5 cms tall.

Hi,
My apologies, this is the correct link, I think.

Thanks Marcus: not the same vase at all, and it may have been me confusing the issue (as usual!)

If you look at Roz's vase:

This is similar to the style to the one that Cat posted originally, where she mentioned a post that featured Adam (David 555).

Here's Cat's vase again:

Could this have been in a thread that was bumped up but then debumped by the 'dark-side' glitch that has emasculated so much of the discussion from the 2nd/3rd of March. Unfortunately finding it again could be difficult as it will probably be full of wibble again and buried in 2 year old postings.

Hi Frank,
I think Catshome posted the amber vase originally, referring to a discussion Adam and I had over "pineapple" style decor of SU items.
Much of the thread disappeared in the glitch.
Difficult to reconstruct, exactly as was, and with no back-up.
Regards,
Marcus

Might be a back-up, we just have to wait for Angela to reappear. Should be able to restore some of the missing stuff if there was one taken.
