Jacobean in blue - Davidson or Inwald?
« on: May 06, 2008, 09:52:51 PM »
Found this today, it's absolutely perfect, a gorgeous blue colour, has JACOBEAN REGD. on the side of the foot.  Would it be a Davidson or an Inwald  piece?

Inwald, imho. Here's a tip....turn the piece upside down and check out the base. If it has a polished mirror-shiny grind (with a recessed star in this instance) then you can put money on it being Inwald.

Glen, yes it has a very shiny bottom and the recessed star. The shine is very.... glasslike! (I couldn't think of another word there!!! ::))  Thanks you, I appreciate the tip. 

Do you know when the blue ones were made please? They don't seem to be very common at all... I see a lot of clear Jacobean but this is the first blue piece I've come across.

I have rarely seen blue Inwald glass. I know of a Nola (aka Pompéi) vase in the same blue as yours - but that's the only one I recall at the moment. I can confirm that blue is indicated (very rarely) as a colour made by Inwald 1928-1935. I haven't looked beyond that time frame.

Please don't take my response here to be the definitive answer  :). I am sure when Marcus has time he can add more.

Gosh, so it sounds like it's a good find then Glen? :)  I just love the colour - it's so vibrant!

Many thank again, and I'll patiently await Marcus' input - I know he's very busy at the moment.

A while I saw a couple of Jacobean tumblers in this colour; at the time I didn't buy because they were quite flea-bitten. If my memory serves correctly they had the mirror polished bases Glen refers to. In the whole of my glass hunting, I don't recall seeing any other Jacobean in blue.

Hi,

Davidson did make some Jacobean styles in coloured glass - Amber, Emerald, Blue and Rose - but only in limited quantities. You do frequently find these jugs in blue. I have one and the colour is different from a Davidson blue.

As this does not have the registered design number on it just Jacobean Regd, could it be post war machine made Jacobean?

I agree with Glen, this probably not a Davidson example.

Regards

Chris

Dear Anne, congrats on your find, which obviously is gusted also as Jakobean by all others here - GREAT!
I have given up regarding this pattern long ago - Walther, Brockwitz, Radeberg, Plötz, Schwepnitz, Jobling, Sowerby, since lately we know Poland, Streit, Stölzle, Schreiber - who else? Today I would say: they ALL produced it in any shape - right?

Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)

Thanks for the info Chris, now how do I tell if it's a machine made one please? :)

Pamela, it's so frustrating isn't it?  It's the same with the Chippendale lookalikes - I found loads in your catalogues (thank you for them again)  so am trying to match up my pieces now with the catalogues... it's like bottling fog! ;D
