Topic: 3rd and last buy - bluey grey heavy vase - Polish?

[wolkenreb]

Having had a good old trawl, I'm thinking maybe Kosta Boda or Orrefors based on 3 factors: shape, finish of the rim and finish of the base.  Would anyone agree/disagree that either of the two could be possible?

Kosta and Orrefors would be signed.  More to the point, I don't think it looks like either.  I still think Sea or something similar.

Clear cased grey vases by a variety of makers, including Orrefors (always signed) , Sea, Gullaskruf, Zwiesel, and others. I would believe that if the piece from Tkmaxx said ' made in Poland'  you'd be looking at Krosno - or am I being too simple?

[wolkenreb]

The thing is the shape.  The only matching shapes I could find (with the same lip and base) were Orrefors and Kosta Boda, but OK, I'm obviously barking up the wrong tree there.  The vase I'd mentioned being from Poland/TKMaxx was another I had bought previously, not this one.  Ivo, the vase 4th from the left in your pic looks about the right shape (ignoring the one in the bottom corner).  Is this one of yours and is it anything like mine apart from shape (ie lip and base)?

Thanks both for your help with this.

The tall one is actually Gullaskruf - just like the third one from the right which is a smaller version of the same. Polished out pontil with a stand ring, flat oval body section and the grey has a slight bluish tinge.

Sorry to be a pain Ivo, I'll got out tomorrow and buy 'The Almost Forgotten Story of the Blue Glass Sputum Flask' (a MUST for bed-time reading) tomorrow to make up for it!  :sleep:  I meant this one.

That is a light amethyst somerso with a cut top and circular section and fully unidentified. Bottom is mould finished as no subsequent work has been done to the top....

Thanks Ivo.

On that picture I can't see any vase made by Gullaskrufs glasbruk.
