this beautiful deep blue swung vase is a proper rabbit hole to dive into. rip a crispy hot one and then let your dome wander thinking about where this piece of history came from
the makers sticker reads (what looks like to the best of my ability) laurel t.&.g. corp brisbane aust. I've had a good look around and spoken to some folk who reckon this would have been in some sort of store front of the original t&g corp building in bris, which stood from 1923 and was demolished in 1969
the people that I've spoken to remember the building fondly as being a hub for nightlife; with various offices above and a retail and dining precinct below
I still can't find any reference to the original glassblower or jeweller that this may have been sold at, which is my torch to hand to whoever picks this one up - maybe you can track down it's origins?? it really is super rich in brissy history
rigged to survive the daily grind with colour matched proper alloy
