    Don't usually pick up much glass/pottery, but this vase was cheap and had a nice look to it. It has an interesting crackle like glaze and a bit of iridescence. It measures 11 inches tall. Some crazing on the inside and wear on the bottom make me think it's not too new. No marks.

    Kinda has a Weller cloudburst look to it? Did anyone else copy/make that style?

    This has been bothering me and was hoping someone would know. I know that there are similar Czech vases but am thinking this thicker in body than what I have seen from there. Something is nagging me that I have seen this in an American pottery book somewhere. Best I can do but this will at least bump this to the top once more.

    I don't collect Weller but it sure does look like a lot of pieces of Cloudburst, marked and unmarked, being offered as such, to me.

    My Weller book doesn't show this shape in the luster section which includes Cloudburst but I don't believe it has examples of whole lines. What appears to be some similar to this shape are online though. Most of the pieces shown in the book say "no mark" though there are some online that have the Weller stamp.

    Sorry that doesn't answer the question about similar pieces by other makers, that I don't know....Sorry.

    I'm a strong believer in doing an image search, but you need a picture straight on at eye level, against a totally plain background. If you were listing this, you would want good pictures, anyway.

    Camark also did a crackle finish but the color is throwing me.

    Gotta say that picture of the lamp looks pretty much identical in shape as to the piece I have. I've yet to find anything else that matches like Weller Cloudburst.
