[QUOTE="UncleChuckTX, post: 30177, member: 154"]Does anyone have any idea who might have done these? The first two are mine, the last is from a recent eBay auction. All three have very similar bases, and roughly ground rims. The first one I found several years ago, and asked about on the eBay P&G forum. It is a black amethyst color - a strange choice for an optic pattern like this. No one had any guesses at that time: [ATTACH]7606[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]7607[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]7608[/ATTACH] I recently purchased this orange / amberina one at a local flea market. It is almost exactly the same size as the black amethyst one: [ATTACH]7609[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]7610[/ATTACH] And I stole the photos of this last example from a recent eBay auction. The glass on these is a lighter amethyst, which better shows off the thumbprint pattern. The overall diameter of these vases is smaller than mine, due to the "bookend" shape.
