News Flash – a knowledgeable Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum participant gave me the following information – “Its a well known Czech vase often found with a fake R. Lalique signature. Its called the Doves vase & comes in two styles, the one you have & one thats similar to the small Tiffin Poppy vase.”
I’ve been looking for more information, so far to no avail. It’s great that I didn’t pay a great deal of money for this. It’s pretty and I will still enjoy using it. Wouldn’t it have been fab to have found a Lalique though????
Yesterday morning I was looking at a photo of the most beautiful covered jar called Hummingbird with Roses by Consolidated Lamp & Glass
Company. Later in the day we went out to Orono as the shops were holding an Antique and Art festival. Too bad it rained! Nonetheless we wandered about and I came across this beautiful vase in the style of the jar.
The price tag was marked Tiffin and there were no markings on the vase. I bought it knowing that it was an “unknown” as it is very beautiful and different.
I have posted it on the Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum and asked for “Help!” A responder said that it is not Consolidated, Phoenix or Gillinder. He thinks it may be European. I will continue to look as it is very interesting. But as always…if anyone knows, please share.
