Title: Polish vase with stars
Post by: chonji on February 18, 2012, 10:51:39 AM
Hi all, could anybody help pin this one down, maker? age?

There are a variety of marks on the back and I am being led off all over in my search,for a definitive ID.

The circular stamp seems to say "Manufaktura W Boleslewcu"
The one below "Hand made in Poland H Mastuia (but the last letters maybe look like germanic/east europe and not 'i a '
Beneath that its a flowers logo with Tereza Bruck imports (thats my best guess at the name).

The vase itself seems intended for a small candle as it has the holes as shown, on both sides, it is a brighter blue
than the photo shows and the background brushstrokes are in a faint 'tiled' pattern behind the star.

Put Polish Pottery or stoneware and the maker name into Google and I am certain you will pull it up. Also  you will see that they made beautiful products. I learned about them a few years age from an eBay success story I read. Someone strated selling them when there was little interest in the US and they were extremely successful.
