Percy Vase by Gullaskruf or copy??
« on: June 15, 2010, 04:05:08 PM »
Hi, can anyone help me out on this one please.   This looks like a Percy vase but how can I tell if it is actually Gullaskruf or if it is a more modern version, ie. Chinese.  It measures 10 1/2" tall and is orangey amber in colour.   Thanks in hopefulness.   Kerry.

It would probably help if you could post a photo showing the profile of the vase, showing the proportions.

Kerry:

Sorry, but I would say not Galluskruf. The glass is too thick, at least judging by the rim, the shape not as subtle, and the base not as well finished. (And the colour looks too strong, too.)
