Featured Glassies: Hand Blown Cobalt Blue Decanter

Good afternoon everyone. Found this cool, handblown, cobalt blue drape decanter this past Saturday at a yearly church flea market in Hubertus, WI. Dealer had no clue as to who dunnit but it intrigued me Ground inside the neck for a stopper that is missing. Spout has a tool mark. Pontil scar on the bottom. About 7 1/2" to tip of spout x 4" diameter. Any leads for identification would be appreciated. Thank you.

 

Wowzer

 

Not a clue, but somebody had fun making that!

Thank you Don. I had found the blue one in my research stating it was Japanese glass. I noticed it was close but the clear foot and handle made me think not but was going to check with a Japanese glass group on FB if I couldn't get any leads. I'll check with the Rainbow/Viking groups.

 

One of the Viking groups on FB says not Viking
Another one of life's great mysteries.

 

also finding several searches showing Ryukyu Glass from Japan. Google AI gives this:

• Ryukyu Glass Village
  : Located in Itoman City, it is one of Okinawa's largest and most famous glass factories. Visitors can watch artisans at work, browse a wide selection of glass, and even try glassblowing themselves.
• Ryukyu Glass Workshop Umikaze
  : Another popular location, Umikaze provides visitors with a hands-on experience to create their own unique glass pieces.

Thank you Don. Ryukyu glass was a name I ran across also. I'll go ahead and try the Japanese Glass Group on FB to see if they can shed some light.

 

I post this in several FB groups also. Art Glass/Rainbow/Viking/Japanese Glass and no one was able to ID it. Gonna have to wing it when I schedule it for auction on feebay tonight

 

I hope you had good luck with it. Love the color!

 

No luck on 1st auction run. Will try another 10 day this Thursday
