    Dear friends, I would like to bring to your attention two small solifleurs mounted on what I think is brass or perhaps antimony in the form of marsh reeds (cat tail?). The corolla is made of glass with a finish that I cannot define as a faded pink color, while the stems are made of strongly uranium glass (more than in photography). The base has no mark except a scratch that looks like K but could be occasional. Height 17 cm, width at the base 11 cm. What do you think you have some indication to give me about the manufacturer and age. Thanks to all those who want to dedicate some time to me

    They're bullrushes. Might be worth a search on that. Charming, too.

    solifleurs = bud vase, right? @giulissa

    They're so awesome by themselves, can't imagine putting "normal" flowers in them :)

    Maybe 'epergne' is a useful term?

    It's not quite rubina verde as the stem looks to be attached to the vase part.
    The vase appears to have what is called frit applied to it.

    Overall it appears European to me. I'm thinking possibly English glass and Austrian metal. Only a wild guess on my part.
