    Hello everyone! I have found several of these vases listed for sale as Boston and Sandwich with dates back to the 1850's but without any references. So I'm not sure if it is Boston and Sandwich or a later reproduction. The base color is lavender. It stands 7 3/4" tall and about 5 7/8" across. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    It's not the style or color of B & S, not even a reproduction. I don't believe these are American.

    Thank you, Cherryhill. I suspected as much.

    I have a few pieces similar to these that I got in a box lot with some Fenton glass. I didn't pay them much thought since they don't appear to be quality glass and are very light.

    I'll have to get some pics of mine.

    Mine is very light too. One of reasons (in addition to the color and how many there were for sale) that I thought B&S was unlikely. I bought it because I thought it was a neat piece of art glass and was fairly cheap. B&S never crossed my mind until I saw the ebay listings.

    eBay listings are notoriously unreliable for IDs :eek:

    Boston & Sandwich made no two color glass, except where two colors were joined by a wafer, or such. My wife has a collection of glass like this. We have never found any info on the maker. Many shapes, colors and sizes were available in the 1990's at very reasonable prices. Our best guess was Eastern Europe, but could be from any country.

    The common thread was the pressed dimples and ground but unpolished pontil scars that all of them had.
