Here's a nice little 8 1/2" vase or bottle I picked up at GW this afternoon. It was in their showcase for a long time and I finally got around to asking to look at it. They had just put in new cases with lights and I could see the iridescent pattern in the glass and the faint color variations. It had that art nouveau look to it, so I bought it. The bottom is white compared to the body and stamped with the number 4 and a mark I haven't been able to ID. It kind of looks like a crown or monogram and part seems to be missing because it fades at the edges. I'm also not sure which way it should face. Up ,down, sideways ?? There is a fine seam down both sides and the top has a lip with concentric circles on it. It may have had a top, but the neck's interior is smooth and not rough to make a stopper fight tightly. I'm sure someone out there knows who made this. I don't think it's Loetz or anything like that but glass is not my forte. -Mike-
That was my first thought too Eye. The Tiffany TDGCo mark has different forms and some are very sloppy, but the bottom of my piece with the ridged edges looks too factory to me. It's obviously a molded piece because of the seams but it has a Tiffany look about it. I've looked at so many marks my head is spinning. You're the man in the glass department. If you can't find it no one can !
