I like to think of these as big and little group portraits of sisters and brothers. That's a little more flattering than calling them clones like Dr. Evil & Mini-Me :-)
The first is a picture of a 12" and a pair of 6" Rindskopf vases in a classic baluster shape. These are in the popular decor of pulled feathers through a teal blue body with an overall metallic surface iridescence.
The second is a truly massive 13.5" Pepita paired with an 8.5" example. These are in the fan-fold style and they both have beautiful polished pontils and flame polished orifices.
Third from the left are 10.25" and 8" examples of pulled colorful confetti through a teal base in a twisted floriform shape.
Finally are two different pairings in the same shape, which for some reason evokes images of bowling pins, though I would hate to see the effects of the bowling ball. The first two are 10" and 8" examples of pulled feather on a pastel blue opaque base. The second pairing are 8.5" and 5.5" examples of the red and clam broth colors marbleized with a base of cream white.
These siblings play nicely with one another!

Very nice Bob, always nice to see groups of like glass, and interesting to compare the nuances between them. Brian
I just love the two in the second photo, but all beautiful!.....:-)
That is exactly how I collect them. I have over 20 matches already, and a coolection of 100. I have even begun on the 7" vases. I also like comparison group pictures; one can show more in 4 allowed photos.
