    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 [​IMG] 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. 20250913_131148.png 20250913_131157.png 20250913_131205.png 20250913_131214.png 20250913_131218.png 20250913_131240.png 20250913_131333.png

    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.
