Just received it, couldn't wait to ask your input. It's not a subtle piece, rather stands out between my other vases. The glass itself, where it isn't brown or yellowy swirled has a blue grey undertone. Also, there are small bubbles included in the glass about everywhere. The upper part is fused to a seperate base with very small brownish specks throughout the glass. No markings to be seen anywhere.
Measurements: It's 22 cm high in total, and at the rim 26 cm across at its widest point and 18 cm at the narrower point. The fused base is 2.5 cm high and 11 cm wide. Forgot to weigh it, but it's pretty heavy, thick glass.
I don't even know where to begin looking. The lady that sold it to me (in the Netherlands) told me she got it for her birthday 15 years ago (and didn't remember anything else, or whether it was new then). I've compared with photo's of the Michael Bang Tundra range for Holmegaard, but those look much clearer and neater. Also, I looked at Michael Harris brown swirled pieces, but this sort of shape is not what I can find. I think it might be a piece of studio glass - but it is unsigned. It might be a seconds piece, however, as there is a burst bubble in the rim.
Any and all pointers are welcome. The type of fused base, the style of the vase or the swirls - or just an artist or country it reminds you of - I really like to have an idea where to search next.
