    This was a purchase from Japan. I know I read the ad so should have known it's size, but when it arrived my brain nearly exploded!
    It is huge!

    I have no idea if this vase is Japanese or not.
    This style of vase; coloured glass, clear cased, and moulded into a bark like finish; was pretty common in the 60s/70s, so it could be from Britain or Europe.

    I have seen similar from Japan, much smaller, and they usually have a Best Art Glass label on them. I think they are Tajima made.

    I can't tell if this is one.

    For now, it's sitting with my other Tajima, making them look small!
    (They come in at 22cm max - 8in)

    Height: 38cm (15in)

      Woaahh! A beautiful monster he is!
      Usually the surprise is to get smaller than expected when unpack... (oops, no pun intended!)

      LOL Kyra! Thanks.
      I can't comment more - might get me deleted!!

      Keep it chillin' Scott. Thanks!

      Vase envy - one of my regular attributes. Just getting others back SWF. Thanks.

      Ta Mike. Almost file my nails on this one, but it does look good.

      Thanks again Rick. I love that you are always so positive about my glass, even when it is a long way from your style. You are clearly a man with a broad perspective of the world.

      kyratango!! Go to confession!! ;))

      Karen, what a gorgeous vase, I love that shade of blue, the texture, and the size must make it truly impressive! :)

      Thanks Sean. Kisses.

      She's a devil really that KT....don't let her sweetness fool you Katherine.
      It is an impressive vase thanks K. It would be more impressive in a house of little vases, but that's not this house......
