I don't know anything about this vase. All I know is it is it is 33 cms high & 53 cms around the widest part of the vase.
This is a lovely vase & it is in A1 condition! I purchased this in an old outback antique shop out western NSW, Australia, approx. 15 yrs ago. The shop was having a closing down sale & had boxes of goodies under rows of tables throughout the shop. The lady that owned the shop, would have to have been 90 yrs old in the shade. She said she forgot she even had this vase. It was covered in dust sitting in the top of an old cardboard box. The box appeared to have been attacked by mice as there was all mouse droppings throughout the box of goodies. It's a good thing mice don't eat glass huh!!
The vase appears to be a white milky looking glass that has been dipped in a lime green coloured glass. The green glass has a glow to it in the sun.
Under the bottom of the vase is a pontil mark - if I was able to upload more pics of this I would.
The first pic of the vase is my vase & the other three pics are of a vase the same as mine, but a lot smaller than mine. This smaller one was sold on ebay in 2010 for $605.00 (see pics).
CindiB,
This vase is lovely, however I unfortunately don't know anything at all about this.
Maybe someone will see it here & shed some light on it!
Thank you for posting this info! Please forgive my error in typing pontiff instead of pontil sometimes my pad has its own mind!
I have the same vase in clear pink. Mine is 32 cm tall. I don't know what it is either. It was in my Mother's collection which I recently inherited. I am in USA.
There are a lot of glass experts on here, someone should be able to tell you a bit more about it. It's pretty spectacular.
