Lavender glass vase origin
« on: December 08, 2007, 03:14:34 AM »
This 6" tall vase has optic ribs inside.  The base is applied, and the bottom of the feet are ground and polished.  They exhibit some wear.  I am at a loss as to origin and age.   All opinions are appreciated.  Thanks for looking.

Is it actually dichroic, i.e., does it look pale blue under a fluorescent light? Twilight was only the colour of Tiffin's neodymium glass, and companies other than Tiffin made dichroic neodymium glass. So unless you found confirmation that Tiffin made that form it could be something else. I would have said looking at those feet that Czech was a possibility.

The Tiffin pattern is Modern.  I've found a couple of on-line examples today and off right now to get a book.  Would you belive not a single flourescent light bulb in my entire house?
