Red Vase 1

UPDATE March 11, 2013 – Found a similar Green Vasevase in green today.  The swirling optic doesn’t have the same crisscross pattern.  Only twists one way.

Haven’t yet found the name.  I’m pretty sure that Ruby Red doesn’t apply.  Now I have a Christmas coloured pair.  I’ll keep looking for the name.

UPDATE – I was scrolling through replacements.com looking for some information.  I came across this exact vase!!!  Yippie!!!

Turns out that this is a piece of Anchor Hocking’s Royal Ruby line.  Replacements has this listed as 1938-.  This is a flower vase (no surprise) with a swirled interior.

Always great to ID something. _________________________________

Since Christmas I have been trying to clean house a bit.  I have been unloading items that we never use or of which we have excess.  This includes vases.  I took them to work and they were promptly claimed – that’s very pleasing that they now have good, new homes.

However…I picked this piece up over the holidays and certainly couldn’t part with it.  I don’t know if it is old….but it is gorgeous.  A beautiful rich ruby red.  The interesting part is that the optic is on the inside.  It looks like a diamond pattern in the photo , but it really is more of a spiral as you can see in the 2nd photo.  Red Vase 2The effect is interesting.  I think it is very attractive.  Right now I have it on a windowsill waiting for some sunshine to shine through it.

Imperial Glass Ripple Vase (2)My guy was at an auction a few weeks ago.  He picked up two of these vases.  They are very attractive and I am certain that there are collectors out there who focus on these vases.

They are pretty neat – the ripples are very obvious on the exterior and the interior is also textured.Imperial Glass Ripple Vase (5)

I gather from David Doty’s website that this is a popular pattern and that there are  many variations.  It appears that this one is quite common.

It doesn’t have an Imperial mark, so I think it is older.  I gather, according to Mr. Doty that the later reproductions are marked.

Fenton (?) White Hobnail Crimped Vase

Hobnail VaseLast new hobnail piece that I am going to show.  I also bought another white hen on nest, but I’ve already shown one off.

No markings on this vase, but I am assuming that it is a piece of Fenton.  Eight inches (more or less) tall.  Pretty common.  I am guessing again, that it is at least 30 years old.

I used to have the exact same piece in blue, but sold that ages ago.  I’m not too crazy about the white hobnail (I must admit) but it IS easy to find.Hobnail Vase (2)

I also saw a lidded white milkglass box on a stand in Fort Erie.  I think it was a cigarette holder.  I’m kind of sorry that I didn’t buy it.  But…oh well……Can’t have everything!
