These vases are my small collection of swirl applied glass vases, in three shapes and in three colors. Did owning several of them help with identification? No, it did not. They have a vertical ribbed air trap fabrication, I think there are more of those pieces here on CW, owned by other collectors.
Image 2 shows an open air pocket at the white rim, with some dirt inside and a needle to demonstrate the small open space. The only vase with that easy to find indicator.
None of these shapes are very common but also they are not unusual, they do fit in with the Czech interwar era. I posted these on Facebook a while back and did not realise I had not shown them here yet. Not marked, size ranges from 7 to 8.5 inches high.
Beautiful vase trio, great color swirls
Little air bubbles on the rim sometimes I use my dental WaterPik to get out the grime. I think these are unintentional consequences of pulling the crystal casing glass over a marbled or mold formed interior, I see it most common in the decors with vertical interior ribbing
Thanks Jericho. The amount of air bubbles all over the orange vase is interesting, so is the white one. Trapped air not meant to be there, or trapped air from the ribbed fabrication layer. Of course both glass surfaces inside and outside are smooth, so it is a visual decor. I know there are more Czech glass pieces with this texture.
Thank your for the love and comments, much appreciated.
