Two tall Amberina vases
« on: July 07, 2009, 06:09:52 pm »
Well, I have some information on one of my "pieces of mystery" (my chair), how about a second piece? I have a pair of tall Amberina vases , someone said they were Vaseline but I'm not entirely sure. I'm not sure what the proper name to call them is, as I have never collected glass, but I think they are really very beautiful and probably worth about $400? I think I would call them "tulip vases", is that correct?

Nope, the vases don't glow, so not Vaseline! (Kind of doubted it since they aren't the least bit green or yellow). What else, they deffinitely look like Amberina, but I haven't seen any like them.

How did you manage finding that! Well, thanks! Almost an exact match, the base is a little different though. Only problem is when I click on the link, and then go to the vase, there's an error "page not found"! Oh well, I still bow to your superior surfing skills :)

As I use to say, .... I'd drather be lucky than good.

Finding that picture surprised me too. I just keyed in Amberina vase and clicked on Google Images and "ding", there it was.
