Leerdam (Holland)

I purchased this from an online auction. It's a small piece at 2.5" inches tall and 6" inches long, but the glass is quite substantial at a little over an inch thick. It's hard to see in the photo, but along with the unusual encased texture, there are tiny controlled bubbles. I thought it might be Italian, but the Italian glass ash receivers I've seen are usually more garish and not as toned down as this. Did Scandinavian or British glassmakers do hand blown items such as this?

Identified on the GMB as Leerdam (Holland).

Hi firstly what a great forum, Im very glad I found it - thank you for being here.

I thrifted a set of 6 goblets today and I am unable to identify the maker.  The etched mark on the bottom appears to be a C with a dot adjacent to a right angle.  The goblets are nice quality with a beautiful bell ring to them, although each glass has a different tone. I suspect there is some lead glass content.  They appear to be blown and ground.  I suspect they are from the 70's or 80's the base of each glass has some wear and scratching to it.  They are quite heavy about 500g each. and have a great balance in the hand.

Does anyone recognize the mark?

I am not sure why but they just dont seem rite for Murano thay have a verry simple concaved base pollished.and weigh dead on 1 kilo each .

Got it .

 Spijkerbol Vase by Andres Dirk Copier 1936, high Deco who would have guessed i had them down as Scandinavian but late 50's, and to think i nearly walked away from the at £4, i even said to the seller i should not be so tight after handing the money over and telling me her partner had bought them at auction some years ago but i dont normally listen to the rubbish that booters spout , but she seemed genuine , any way happy days.

It seems it has been a while since any one has bought a piece of Leerdam , well heres my contribution , A lovely pair of Spijkerbol Vases 1935 1936 designed by Andries Dirk Copier high deco and way before its time .
 Weighing a stunning 1 kilo each and measuring aprox 3 1/2"

i've got the feeling i've seen this one once ago...
could be the vase i've seen before.... not the grrrl

 
i've seen this mark once ago but can't remember where...

quite sure it's not a bottle...
very thin walled it is actually

found it designed by Chris Lanooy 1919, executed by Leerdam

I thought that but the mark in 20th Century factory Glass is more exact than that displayed and the dots are not in the same place though of course variants from the book mark is often common I thought there was enough to rule it out.

it's a unica by floris meydam for leerdam

Hello. I appreciate (rather than collect) C20th glass, but should be grateful if any member can i.d. the mark on this heavy controlled bubbles piece. I'm a volunteer at my local Cancer Research shop and it's my job to flag up antiques/collectables so they don't slip through the net! Many thanks in advance for any pointers.

Brilliant - many thanks. Armed with your info, I find that it is a piece by Andries Dirk Copier. Leerdam released just 125 in 2004, of which this is one. There is currently one on eBay for 275 Euros, so now we just have to sell ours

Yes, I agree re eBay - will be listing much lower and let it find its own level.
