Depression Glass Vases value. .?
« on: April 24, 2015, 02:56:17 pm »
I purchased these about 30 years ago.  I thought they were pressed depression glass, but I have never seen this same shape again.  Perhaps they are blown glass..?  Any thoughts on value today...?

It does appear to have a pontil mark in the center bottom !!  So probably hand blown !!

Best way to get a value on what they are actually selling for is to look on ebay for similar vases !! They do not have to be identical !! Every glass company had their own idea as to shape !! Just look for similar size and era that are hand blown !!  Even with that the selling prices will vary greatly !! Someone might want these just because their Grandmother had a similar set !! Its just a matter of what appeals to that buyer !!

Cobalt blue glass was a hot seller in the early 70s and it was reproduced quickly after. These to me look like older pieces but it is very hard to tell in person let alone from a photo. The advice from Mart is very sound.

Thanks Frogpatch !!  Forgot about that !!  They did reproduce some of the cobalt blue !! Check these vases for a seam along the side !!  Could also be blown in mold !!
