Large Statement Piece Red Orange and White Italian Glass Vase

Jon Nix — Sun, 08 Jan 2023 16:41:17 +0000

A stunning red, orange and white glass vase in heavy glass, this is most likely from the workshops of Murano, the Venetian glass makers responsible for many mid-century classics. It dates from the early 1970s and - due to its size and weight - is very much a statement piece. The vase measures approximately 28cm (11 in.) in height with a rim diameter of 6cm (2½ in.) and a similar base diameter. The interior of the vase is white glass whilst the exterior is composed of a swirling effect with red, white and orange colours (any resemblance to the planet Jupiter almost certainly deliberate!), with proportions which emphasise the upper section of the vase and the rim.

In very good condition with no chips or cracks, the vase has a few minor imperfections some of which are undoubtledly originating from the manufacturing process. A rare piece which is sure to attract attention.

1950s Scheurich Speckled Ceramic Vase in Black, Yellow, Blue and Red

Jon Nix — Wed, 26 Oct 2022 20:32:40 +0000

A very attractive and rare 1950s vase made by Scheurich. The exterior features a grey speckled ground, incised stripes in blue, red, and yellow, and a three-sided, slightly irregular, form which is a great example typical of the era. The interior is a contrasing white. Measuring approximately 20cm (8 in.) in height, the vase has a truncated sloping rim, and contrasting hand-decorated wavy gold lines within flat black stripes to complete the look. The makers mark is worn and not readily discernible but we have identified it as a product of Scheurich.

The vase is in very good condition with no chips or cracks - and it would make a stunning addition to a mid-century home or as a statement piece in a more modern environment.

Vintage Sklo Union Glass “Maze” Vase designed by Fratizek Visner

Jon Nix — Mon, 05 Sep 2022 14:20:04 +0000

Known as the "maze" vase, the Frantizek Visner-designed glass vase by Sklo Union is rather emblematic of its time - and a good-looking piece for now too. It's a chunky piece measuring approximately 25 cm high (10 in.) with a base measuring 10cm (4 in.) which reflects and refracts light in interesting ways with its deeply pressed glass pattern coming to the fore.

In excellent condition, with no chips or cracks.

Vintage Orange/Amber Optical Art Spiral Design Double Waisted Glass Vase

Jon Nix — Sat, 13 Aug 2022 21:43:15 +0000

A stunning glass vase measuring 24 cm (9½ in.) in height with a double waisted design and a very eye-catching spiral pattern running through it. It's a relatively delicate piece of glass in an orange-amber colour (more orange than some of the brown-tinged amber colours which you see) and it really dazzles with light behind it and the interplay of the spiral patterns coming to the fore. Unmarked but very probably from Empoli, Italy. The photos here really don't do it justice, though we've tried! The vase is handblown with the very distinctive marks to the base which are evidence of this method of manufacture and though we can't be sure, it's most likely of Italian origin.

In good condition, with some minor grazes only to the surface and no chips or cracks. The rim is very good. There are other imperfections from the making process but nothing which detracts from the overall look of the vase. The base measures approximately 8 cm (3 in.) and as mentioned it's about 24 cm (9½ in.) in height.

Vintage Handblown Textured Glass Semi-Globe Vase

Jon Nix — Mon, 28 Sep 2020 23:21:06 +0000

A piece of vintage art glass in the form of a semi-globe shaped vase with pineapple-style interior texture and a slightly fluted and rim. A very finely produced and lightweight item which shows considerable craftsmanship in its making and unusual in form and visual effect, particularly with the texture on the inside rather than the outside of the glass. It is most likely to be East European in origin.

The vase has no chips or cracks and is presented in excellent condition. The vase measures approximately 12cm (4¾ in.) in height with the "ball" section approximately 9cm (3½ in) of that. The vase is 11cm (4¼ in.) at its widest, with a rim measuring 6.5 cm (2½ in.) in diameter and a base 4.5 cm (1¾ in.) in diameter.

1950s Handpainted Colourful Stripes Flattened Oval Vase

Jon Nix — Tue, 08 Sep 2020 14:27:57 +0000

If an object can be granted human characteristics, then this vase is cheerful and a little bit eccentric. Believed to date from the 1950s, this hand-painted vase not only has colourful stripes to bring some cheer but also a dotted pattern within the stripes and black dashed line work around them and also around the rim to accentuate the positive (sorry). It's a semi-shouldered vase, with a gently curving shape and a flattened oval form which descends to a circular base. It's possibly Italian - there is a very indistinct stamp to the base which is not legible - and that would certainly be appropriate. Everyone who has seen this vase has loved it for its quirkiness.

In good condition with no chips or cracks to the exerior, but some age discolouration to the interior, the vase stands approximately 15 cm (6 in.) high on a base with a diameter of 5cm (2 in). The oval rim of the vase measures approximately 9cm (3½ in.) by 5cm (2 in.), with the curved "shoulders" extending outwards by about 2cm (¾ in.) and 1cm (3/8 in.) at the vase's narrowest and widest respectively.

A stunning blue and yellow “sommerso” Italian glass vase in block shape, possibly attributable to Alessandro Mandruzzato.

In good original condition with only one very minor signs of age and use. Due to the nature of manufacture there are some very tiny bubbles internal to the glass work.
The vase weighs approximately 700 grams and measures approximately 17cm (6¾ in.) in height and 4.5cm (1¾ in.) square.
