    I could use some help identifying these two glass vases. They are 8 3/4" tall with six sides, 2 3/8" at the base and 2 1/16" at the top. I can find no markings. There are flowers and leaves etched all the way around the vase top to bottom. The glass at the base has some small air bubbles and wavy-ness to it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      Really beautiful glass. Moser?

      It was my understanding that Mosher was always marked somewhere on the piece but don't know for sure.

      On the bottoms maybe? There's one on ebay described as "STUNNING MOSER FLORAL ENGRAVED AMETHYST ..." In Texas. Another colour.

      They certainly have some similarities. The glass on these seems much thicker, the base 1 1/2" is solid glass and the sides are 1/4" at the opening. Those look much thinner, but the etching look similar.

      Harrach or Moser. I have a number of these in my collection. some are marked some are not. Moser bought blanks from harrach to make these and harrach also made these. I think later moser was always marked but earlier moser was not always marked or was always marked but that mark included a paper sticker that fell off with time. I have one or two that are shown on catalog pages from moser with no mark with the intaglio design. If there is some design element that I know is Moser I'll call a piece Moser otherwise I generally call it harrach (with the intaglio. ) Do you know how to look for acid etched marks on glass? you can't always see them straight off they can be very faint. take it to a window or bright light and tilt the base slowly rocking it back and forth while looking thru the different patterns the light makes. you can often find a difficult signature that way. breathing on the base can also sometimes show a acid signature.

      Pretty sure this one is Moser, at least Moser cutting, supposedly they made these roughly 1900-1910 and only stared signing c1905
