Very large beaked, forked ruby/clear vase
« on: September 19, 2011, 04:03:20 PM »
Can anyone help me to identify origin and age for this very large beaked, forked vase I have inherited?
It measures 515mm tall and 160mm wide at the broadest part.
Glass is a rich, ruby red with clear rims at the top and the outer layer of the body.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Frank,
Attached picture of vase base as requested. There are no markings anywhere on the base.
Hope this is helpful
Regards
