Featured Glass Urn with lid

hi, i’m Clearing my mothers house and have the following item but can’t find any information on it.

It’s made of glass and has a removable lid, it’s about 20 inch in height

I can’t see any marks on the urn and it’s at least 80+ years old


.

 

Picture of the underneath.

 

Please share why you are positive it is 80+ years old.

 

The urn can be seen in a photograph when my grandmother was a child, my grandmother would have been over a hundred years old now.

 

love to see that photo....

 

Welcome Alun Bevan - I keep thinking it was part of a pair of mantel urns. One would have sat on each end of a mantle piece. I don't doubt the age. The style and decoration would match Bohemian items from the circa 1900's. I have to admit I'm not familiar with that shape though.

Many manufacturers produced these type of items in late 19th and early 20th centuries. They came over to the US by the boatload from all over Europe but primarily Bohemia, France, Germany, and England. Often these pieces were produced for import firms who frankly did not really care where the items were made as long as the manufacturer could match the importer's price point. It is rare to find marked glass pieces from this era.

Please keep in mind that this is just my opinion. Regardless of where it was made it is a lovely piece. Hopefully someone will come along who can help you further.

I'm with Don on this. Bohemian, early 20th, one of a pair.

 

I have one just like it only with a different decoration. The color has a special name but I can't remember what it is. I was told that it is a Bristol Vase. But I think Bohemian is more likely.

 

Bristol is a misused term.
Bristol is a place in England that made a soft blue glass. It was copied by others, particularly Bohemia.

I agree with the late 1800s to pre WWI time frame and Bohemia origin.

 

Bristol. Arg. One of the most misused terms......!
