<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 1302, member: 44"]I have 4 red/ruby glass items that I haven't had any luck on IDing. A good year or more ago I posted a query about them on the PGP board with no replies. Going to try again on this forum, but will do a separate query for each item. This first one is flora (fern/cat-o'-nine tails?) motif vase. It is 7 1/8" tall, 2" diameter base, and 2 1/2" flared top. Has a very rough pontil. The glass seems relatively thin and delicate to me. Nowwww, I'm woefully ignorant on this antique glass. I don't know if it is stained or flash. My guess is probably stained, but I would be very surprised if I was right. Is it stained glass? What is the frosted look? Is that from a rough lathe? I really have no provenance for it other than to say I remember it in our home from as early as the mid 1940s. I have no idea where my mother got it. Any and all opinions on age are welcome. Do you think it is American made?</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, I have looked through several ruby stained glass catalogs, but they all dealt with pattern glass of which this vase is not. Example: Barret's <i>Popular America Ruby Stained Pattern Glass</i>, Heacock's <i>Encyclopedia of Victorian Colored Pattern Glass, Book 7, Ruby-Stained Glass</i>. In the next few days will post queries on the other items.</p><p>TIA.</p><p>--- Susan</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://home.earthlink.net/~filearchives/glass/FernVase1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://home.earthlink.net/~filearchives/glass/FernVaseBottomCombo.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
