Featured Bohemian (?) glass vase, English silver collar, but whodunnit?

Thoughts on this one please? It's gorgeous glass but I can't decide who made it. Rindskopf?

 

Very pretty!

 

Nice one Bear, but no clue on who dunnit.

 

No idea. The glass is wonderful, but what prat put the silver rim on that way? I can't make out the city mark.

 

Hi bear,
Love love love your vase.

For no reason I can discern,I immediately thought Steuben? Its gorgeous!

 

Nice, innit.

Ruth, it's an anchor. Birmingham, 1903, and a right bugger to read!

It's like an oil slick. I don't think it's English glass, but hey.

 

Then I haven't a clue - no idea who made the metalwork. The glass looks Czech.

 

I have no help on IDing this lovely glass! I looked around for other such glass with silver by Hart & Sons. Found a few items, but nobody knows the glass, only the silver.

I would look at Loetz.
I had a flower frog vase similar to this.

The silver plated top was English hallmarked.

Here's a page of flower frog vases. If you scroll down you will see some oil slick finish on several.

Here is the cousin to yours, still unknown as to who made the glass though.

Thanks all. We imported some lovely Bohemian glass in the early 20th C. I do wonder if it's Loetz, it's got the quality.

 

Good find, Cxgirl, on the glass! The "H&S" on both Cxgirl's find and OBB's is Harts & Sons. The shape of the punch tells all.

Around 38th down or 10th up in the "H&" section

The bottom is all wrong for Loetz. Loetz typically have a nicely polished out pontil. There are exceptions to this but usually when the shape makes it impossible to polish out. Here is a link to a page I found that shows a polished out pontil

I notice what appear to be a couple of blemishes/flaws near the top of the vase. That in itself would rule out Loetz.

I have cross posted this to a facebook group. I'll let you know what info I can gather.

@Ownedbybear can I get dimensions as well?

 

Thank you kindly. Eight inches tall, one and a half at the top, two and a half at the base.

 

FWIW, if a piece doesn't need to be puntied to finish it, there won't be a scar/ground pontil mark. This piece could be finished without transferring to a punty rod.

 

Owned.....it's a beauty ...no matter who !

 

Isn't it just. The colour change is gorgeous.

 

Would also think Rindskopf at first look.
