Depression Glass?

[Kevin_Bones]

Hi I am wondering what this piece is. I think it's depression glass but I don't know how to tell. I also couldn't find anything the same shape or design as this. Here is a pic

Looks more like a 70`s era art glass vase !!  How tall is it ??

[Kevin_Bones]

The vase is 4 1/2 inches tall, 3 1/2 inches wide

Anything on bottom ??

[Kevin_Bones]

Nothing on the bottom just a mark from where he was blowing the glass.

[mart]

Can you post a pic of the bottom ?? 

[Kevin_Bones]

Yes here is the bottom

[mart]

Rough pontil mark !! I would bet this is probably Italian 70`s vintage !!  Much of it was sold here during the 70`s and 80`s !!  Have seen a few similar !! But if you are in no hurry,, Wendy is much better on glass than I am,, I would get her opinion !!

Thank you very much!

Yeah it does look like cranberry glass, good eye BigWull. I'm pretty sure I am part color blind so it's hard for me to tell the difference between a lot of colors!

Probably not. One thing I remember from dealing with glass is that Fenton did not have rough pontils like this.

Here's an excerpt that explains it better...

"Pontil Marks:  99.99% of the time, Fenton will not have a pontil mark on the bottom. A pontil mark is a mark on the bottom of an item where the punty rod was attached during the glass making process. Pontil marks can look like a rough broken chipped mark, a bumpy lump, or a polished concave dimple. Fenton uses snap rings to hold their bases while working with glass rather than punty rods. Exceptions to this rule are some Off Hand Glass made in the 1920’s, which is very rare; and Off Hand Glass made more recently by Master Craftsmen like Robert Barber, Dave Fetty and Frank Workman, which will be signed."

(If I was thinking of an American origin of this, I would maybe say Pilgrim Glass. )

thanks Rauville, I learn something new everyday.  I used to deal in a lot Cranberry glass & a very good customer who was an avid collector would always dismiss pieces like this, telling me they were "just Fenton".
