Vintage light fittings?

Hi i want to know if these are vintage or not. There are 3. The only reasons i think they are vontage is they are imperfect. One has this ridge on the inside and thats in one of the photos. I havent posted on here in a long time so gotta see how many photos i can post. They are about a hand long and there is a weird vv mark on all of them. Also there are fleck that are in the glass. They are very thick glass as well. Does anyone know what they are? I have no clue

Vintage light fittings?

Do YOu think it could be Mosser?

 

"

  • W inside a circleโ€ฆโ€ฆ.. In some cases, the โ€œM inside a circleโ€ mark used by Mosser Glass Company, Cambridge, OH, appears (when viewed upside down) to be a W inside a circle because of slightly diagonal strokes of the two โ€œlegsโ€ of the letter. This appears mostly on upscale novelty glassware and repro ornamental ware, not on utilitarian bottles. Please check the M entries concerning Mosser near the top of this page, showing a pic of this mark."

from: glassbottlemarks.com

 

they appear to be mouthblown from a frosted pendant candelabra or chandelier - around the art nouveau era.

It looks to be an etched mark - I don't think it would have anything to do with a bottle manufacturer. I would assume original, though without the fittings it would be difficult to use. Also unfortunately this is the kind of thing that has been extensively reproduced; you can find similar these days in almost every lighting shop. I have a Daum hanging light in very similar tones - if I had to guess, I would guess French, Art Nouveau style as already said.

Oh i dont know as i dont know much about this field or type of object. Yes it is like a m inside a circle when the object is upside down but not etched. It feels like the symbol is a sticker...which definately means it is not vintage i guess. i cant imagine how someone makes a sticker like this. What is a Utilitarian bottle? I cant sort out the link you sent me. Theres too much on the page to find what you describe.

It feels more like a glossy sticker now that i touch it today which is odd. Yes that item does look similar in a lot of ways. Ah a reproduction yeah i think it is. So what i thought was a mistake in or flaw is probably just because of mass production. Thanks will sell them as reproductions and art Nouveau style

Mosser made more than bottles.

I can see lots of attractive USA kitchen ware, but nothing that looks like Art Nouveau style light fittings.

Mosser marks are impressed into the glass.  Not stamped
