Re: PeeDee PD Italy Vase
Oh my. What a vessel. This is really a great piece. I am getting a bit more confident with my glass knowledge, and would have snatched this up in a heartbeat. And a no-brainer with the label, right?
Re: PeeDee PD Italy Vase
Just discovered that this is missing its lid. Found a pic online of a blue one with a cone shaped lid.
Re: PeeDee PD Italy Vase
Oh, snap!
Re: PeeDee PD Italy Vase
PD is the abbreviation for the province of Padua - not that that helps too much, but I was thinking maybe it's the equivalent of a lot of that Venetian glass being labeled "Murano" - not a particular company, just a region.
Re: PeeDee PD Italy Vase
Not definitive either but the evidence that it is a company is the fact that the exact same label marked Japan rather than Made in Italy can be found attached to decorative glass pieces.
Re: PeeDee PD Italy Vase
Just ran across this information - PEEDEE stood for Pitman-Dreitzer & Co., which was part of Lancaster Colony - manufactured & imported glass/other giftware.
Re: PeeDee PD Italy Vase
Interesting. Thanks for the info.
