Topic: HUGE GLASS VASE MONART OR NOT ?

[eggar]

Hi, could anybody give me any info on this glass vase, it measures a whopping 12 ins tall, i did find one on picklick that described it as Monart shape ZD but i can't find it on the main id sites for monart, so is it monart ? thanks

If you've looked through the patterns on ysartglass.com and can't find it... My guess is that it's a Nazeing Munster vase from the 1920s/1930s, but it's only a guess. I haven't seen enough Nazeing of this period to be sure.

I can't see how the colour is worked in the glass, but what I can see of it is far more Nazeing than Ysart.
Nazeing has very distinctive bubbles, with a kind of halo of solid colour around them - it's produced using sodium bicarbonate. The Ysarts didn't use that technique.

thanks for the reply will have a look at nazeing

Looking for something else I found vases similar to this on the 20thcenturyglass.com website listed under the Vasart section.

We need to see the bubbles properly.
I have a feeling Vasart would not have had the colour concentrated so strongly towards the top.
Some people do mix Nazeing and Vasart up. It is something seen a lot.
Just about every single bit of Nazeing I've seen in antique and collectables places in Scotland is labelled "Scottish glass".

Very Nazeing...
