This 14 inch tall vase has a wavy top with amethyst "beads" of glass in the recesses. Concave pontil and usual signs of age on base. Would this be an early Powell?

Hi Ronnie

I think that's a piece of peacock glass by Stuart. Rather nice, isn't it? I've only seen it in green before, perhaps the amethyst colour is rarer?

Edit: I found something similar on Great Glass under Stuart - could someone put the link on? When I try to do it, the link ends up about three miles long! :lol:

thank you for the response Max. I went on to Great Glass and saw the green example and the smaller amethyst one below which confirms your very accurate assessment.
Much appreciated.
Ronnie

Ronnie,I have a Flared vase/bowl like this in the green/blue colours and spent ages thinking it was Powell.I eventually found it at Whitefriars.com in their 'Mistaken Identities' pages.I think pattern is called 'Cairngorm'.I've added a pic of mine,Justine
