    This collection of glass vases lives on my basement window sill during the summer. They all move into storage in the winter to make space for my plants.

    The one to the left is a SASAKI handcrafted crystal vase. I got it as a present more than 10 years ago. It is about 12 inches tall.

    The second one is a very common vase. I have seen them in a variety of sizes and colours. Sometimes they are referred as Murano, but I am not sure so sure. I believe that they might have been sold in Pier 1 stores. I wouldn't be too surprised if they were a Chinese import.

    The one coloured, tall vase is a bit of a mystery to me. It is very tall, well made, and used to have a felt cover on the bottom. I never found out who made it and how old it is.

    The last vase to the right is also a bit of a mystery. I have seen them attributed to Scailmont. The ones I found on line where described as Belgian Art Deco Vases. I wouldn't want to make this attribution because I have not seen definite proof that it is a Scailmont piece. I did read that some of their pieces had paper labels - so it would be possible, but nowadays anything could be reproduced in China :(
    The vase is a bit over 12 inches tall.

    Thanks for looking

      Agree on the Scailmont comment. I corresponded with someone in the Netherlands who bought some of these in Belgium, where they were sold as Scailmont vases and, locally, in the Netherlands, they were called "Scailmont vases", but until one pops up with a label on it, I retain a healthy skepticism.

      I agree with your perception, I don't have any experience of labels on these, but it's a gut feeling. Your Scailmont for example was produced in a dark green, which for me it odd for the time period.

      The colorful one I have as well, but smaller, in pale blue and green, also think Chinese. Husband likes that one, so got a bigger one in solid dark yellow JIP interior and green exterior glass. Always interesting.

      Interesting group Freiheit. The Sasaki is an interesting one to me; is it made in Japan, or elsewhere? They did sell from other countries.
      The bright red/white/green one is definitely Asian. I have seen these with a Thailand sticker as well as similar with a China sticker. Bright, happy, and nicely made glass.
      The butterscotch twisted one is interesting. It's white glass with an amber case, and I have seen them before too. Might be Japanese? I don't know, but the idea behind the design is cool.

      The vase on the far right could have been made by Phoenix Glass in Pennsylvania. I worked for Anchor Hocking in Ohio and they bought Phoenix Glass which has been closed for many years now. Phoenix was a well known glass manufacturer of lamp bases and large vases like this one. I have a few similar vases like this one in my storage. I don't believe Phoenix embossed their logo on their items so this is just a possible direction to take. Hope this helps.

      Somewhere in my research of these vases I found someone who attributed these to Phoenix Glass but they had no proof.

      The orange vase on the right is made by Anchor Hocking. I found someone selling one of these that was still new in the box.
