Red vases
« on: July 01, 2009, 02:24:35 pm »
I have these 2 vases and have researched until my eyes wouldnt let me anymore. All I could find was a pic of one like the larger one of mine on a site for 265.00. It was Viking glass. I went to the viking site and couldnt find one there, and there was no specifications if viking glass had a mark or logo on it. I would like to know exactly who the maker is and what the value of the 2 could be. I may or may not want to keep them, depending on the value.

L. E. Smith made vases very similar in design of those two.

I have 2 made by Smith, with the tallest one at 18", but which are opaque glass and which are orange and yellow in color.

Im sorry, the larger one is red with yellow at the top and the smaller one is orange with yellow at the top and on the bottom with the wexford type pattern (i think thats what its called anyway ??)  The larger one does not have a rough spot on the bottom, its smooth as far as I can tell.

I don't think she understand's Joe. I agree with Cogar L. E. Smith.

I have actually seen similar ones on Ruby Lane if you have some time to search that site. As far as the maker, I am not an expert but Smith doesn't sound far off to me. I have been collecting glass for a few years so technically I am just a newbie, but I'd try researching Smith glass  :)
