    My grandmother owned this small glass vase. There's no sticker or marking. Any info is appreciated.
    8.5" tall

      I believe this shape is called 'Jack in the Pulpit' a plant - real name Arisaema triphyllum (okay I looked up the real name).

      This one has a really neat shape at the top, and a great colour and size. There's no pontil mark, and I can't see an etched signature on the base. It could be mid-century-modern; more likely an art class piece. Murano? Japanese?

      Thank you. I did find one similar that was labeled Jack in the Pulpit. This gives me something to go by. I doubt it's Murano. Will continue my search. Appreciate it!

      Often mistaken for Murano, this type of swirled glass is correctly identified as Ozark, "Arklahoma", and/or Sooner glass. This particular jjack-in-the-pulpit vase was, judging by the colors and lip shape, most likely made by Becraft Glass of Fort Smith, Arkansas.

      Wow, thanks, artfoot. That makes sense considering my location.

      Kudos artfoot. Is the size of PearlGlasses vase unusual?
    7. artfoot artfoot, 6 years ago
      8.5 inches is on the tall end for these Ozark vases but they are quite variable.
