    I thought I would show these four close-up photos of art glass vases in my collection. To me these photos almost look like modern "paintings" or, in two cases, cell slides as seen through a microscope. I thought that instead of seeing a vase, first seeing the close-up might add to one's appreciation of the skill that went into its creation. Do you know the maker, technique or decor for any/all of these?

      I'll say the 2nd picture should be ... an Orrefors Geometric Ariel Vase by Ingeborg Lundin
    2. twentiethc, 10 years ago
      My next guess is that picture #3 is a piece of Hobbs Hobnail (cranberry opalescent).
    3. twentiethc, 10 years ago
      As for picture #1, I'll go with Loetz (Ausführung C ?)
    4. twentiethc, 10 years ago
      For picture #4, I'd say Loetz Schaum glass

      Correct on 1 2, and 4.
      As to number 3, I have had that piece for about five years, bought it as Hobbs, always thought it was Hobbs until about 18 months ago when I was supplying a few photos to someone writing a book on glass. She told me it is actually Phoenix Art Glass (page 28 of the book by the same name).

      20th you are awesome! Well done. Fun post VO!

      Almost got 'em all :)

      The color separation on those hobnails is about as crisp as I have ever seen. Very beautiful!

      twentiethc,
      I live in a small town (population 4,000) in Ohio. We do have an antique shop in town that deals mostly in Victorian/ farm style furniture - but the owner for 30 years sometimes lets go of something from her personal collection, as was the case here. She had a pair - kept one, sold one. We all thought it was Hobbs.
