This is a lovely vintage Scottish art bulbous glass vase dating to the 1960s.
It was made by Strathearn Glass and has the leaping salmon mark on the pontil mark on the base, as photographed.
It is a more unusual in that it is a smaller size.
It is 5 1/4 inches in height and with a diameter at the widest point of 4 3/4 inches.
It is an attractive mottled tangerine colour with speckles throughout. The orange glass is then cased with a layer of clear glass - and it is nice and thick with a good bit of weight to it.
It is in excellent condition with no damages (any white flashes are not on the vase - but just caused by reflections when taking my photographs).
HISTORY: Strathearn Glass was the name given to the Vasart Glass company in Scotland when it was bought out in 1965 by Teacher's the whisky company (to make novelty ashtrays out of flattened whisky bottles). Teacher's moved the glassworks into a new purpose-built factory in nearby Crieff. Strathearn Glass continued to make the same style of vases, bowls and lamps as Vasart and Monart, but these are easy to distinguish because they have the company trademark, a leaping salmon, imprinted onto the pontil (as you will find of this vase).
In 1980 Teachers sold Strathearn Glass to Stuart Crystal. Stuart's used the factory to make crystal blanks for cutting at their Stourbridge factory in England and they no longer made the Strathearn range of art glass.
A very fair price for a attractive piece of 1960s Scottish Strathearn glass. It will be posted to you in the UK with Royal Mail Tracked Postage. This will be applied to your order at the checkout.
