Topic: Massive amber art-deco style vase -- maker? ID = Stingl

[Anik R]

Hello,

Can anyone help me identify the maker of this 12-sided art-deco style vase?  It's massive (much bigger than I realised when I bet on it  :spls:) --  19,5cm high and a whopping 15,5cm wide at the top.  The base is flat, with considerable wear, but no maker's mark. It weighs over 1,6 kg,

It's not what I usually buy, but I've been slightly 'betting' happy lately.    

Thank you for looking -- all help and comments are greatly appreciated!

Is it cut or pressed?

[Anik R]

Ah, Christine, asking me these difficult technical questions...

I believe it's cut.  I can't find any seams, plus, there are very faint 'swirl' marks going around the tapered part of the vase.

Has some resemblance ?? to Moser/Hoffman in a sense (maybe) (sort of) - as to area of location (maybe)...................but the last level of your vase has a smaller ledge than this one ----- So this is merely a suggestion

 :ooh:  whoops posted wrong Link  :thud: corrected now...

Thank you, Rose, but that's not the same vase.  My vase, only smaller, can be seen here http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/2164246 though I don't think the attribution is correct.  Apparently, all Moser pieces have got a 'brand mark'.  :huh:

The search continues...

I´ve seen similar vases with the Moser logo, but forgot the details: number of facets etc. It seems
likely that several companies made more or less simlar designs. Riedel might be another candidate?
There´s also a related design on Oliver´s Hessenglas site.

Thank you, Dirk... The Hessenglas one is, as you say, 'related' but still quite different -- the glass is much thicker than in my piece.  I will look into Riedel.  Thank you, again!

Try Desna, it seems to be related to the "four layers" vase from Dobronin Glasworks which they still produce.

Try Desna, it seems to be related to the "four layers" vase from Dobronin Glasworks which they still produce.

I have NO clue at all -- but I keep finding the 4 layer (bottom) with a thicker width (or equal) size.......the only one that I have found with a *narrower* bottom edge (like yours ) is this one.  http://www.trocadero.com/bradford/items/921239/item921239store.html

Now I know the shape is different (and colors) -- but I was just looking at the 4th bottom layer since I note that yours is also the least widest there.......but I have no clue at all......and know nothing about those types of glass in the link provided either.

Merely looking towards the bottom narrower layer --  :thud: 



I will hide now  :ooh:

Thank you for the responses...  now I need some time to look at the suggestions and do some research.

I'll be back, either a little more knowledgable, or still completely clueless.
