Topic: Not stretch, but crackle glass vase.

[Della]

Hi all,

Do any of you lovely folks have any information that you could share on this vase?
It is 11 1/2" in height.

Is it even classed as stretch glass? 

TIA, as always.

Depends on the quality. If it is well made, rounded rim, smooth glass then it may be Leerdam from the 1930s - there have been a few experimental pieces made in this crackle technique - Lanooy, I think, and usually unsigned.

However if the surface is rough, the top is cut off and ground down you are looking at a Romanian piece circa 1980. I have one in red which really tears the skin off your fingers.

No it is not classed as stretch glass...

Hi Ivo 

The vase is, on the whole, incredibly smooth, although there are a couple of places where it is a little rough, but in a tiny spot, not a patch, as it were    The rim is ground flat, with bevelled edges.

the rim seems to be of the Romanian kind. But keep the options open, anyway.

Thank you, Ivo.
