    Hello,
    Can anyone please help identify what type of glass these Chinese style celadon color gourd vases are made of and who the manufacturer is.

    Thank you so much!

    It’s sort of opalescent and has almost iridescent, mirror like surface. Not like I’ve anything I’ve seen before…

    Yes these are most likely Opalescent glass. If wanting to determine age, here's a great site to help determine manufacture range from the type of socket, it's one that I refer too. Pull chains came out in 1896, invented by Hubbel. I would look for a name stamped on the socket base; Bryant, invented his version in 1909. Narrowing down age, if name is on socket, would lead you to finding out the opalescent glass manufactures from that time, although exact maker may be harder. But the fun is in the search as they say. My best guess, these would "Art Deco" due to their shape and the ornamentation on these. A wonderful pair of lamps!
