Help with two Murano vases

[mitko011]

/6Hello Everybody!
I am trying to identify these two vases.
The first one has swirl decoration fire polished rim and finely polished pontil mark.
It is about 7 inches tall.
The second one is ~9 inches tall made of white flowing to blue bubble glass covered with clear with handkerchief shape. The base is polished.
I can provide more pictures if needed!
Thanks in advance!

I can help with the first one. It is by a Scandinavian company, Dansk (Denmark). They made this type glass in different shapes. It looks very much like Murano, but it is Scandinavian.

I don't know who made the second vase.

And I can help with the second vase.
Its from SCHOTT, Zwiesel, Bavaria > "Schaumglas".

TxSilver you are right! I have found few very similar Dansk vases.
They look so close to Murano !!!
Do you have an idea of when it was made? Thanks so much!

Hello Horst and thanks for the information!
I googled the SCHOTT, Zwiesel "Schaumglas"
And found few pieces "Schaumglas" but nothing similar so far.
Have you seen their vase with this shape?Thanks

Yes I have, but their is another view. In the area of the Bavarian Forrest are plenty glass companies. Same procedure as in Murano a successful product line was always copied. So the fazzoletto vase was also copied but from Murano.

Dimi, the Dansk vases are fairly recent. There are many of them out there. They have different shapes and colors, but the same type of mezza filigrana. I owned one and was impressed with the quality. I do not know the exact years on the vases, but I would guess somewhere between 1990 and 2010. Could be wrong here.

All of the ones that I have seen with this shape are described to be from the 70s.
You guys are great ! I would never have guessed it because they look so much Murano! Can you take a look at this one- it is very well done and looks modern Scandinavian vase to me (Iitala , Tapio Wirkkala, Holmegaard etc.) it is hand blown and the bottom sides are polished and is ~8'' x 5.5'' I just have no clue what it really is...
It is clear flowing into apple green rim.Thanks in advance!
