This little iridescent vase is 3.3/4" tall and 3.1/2" wide and signed to the base it was only 1.50 pounds so i took a chance as its quite decorative if a little modern i just wonder what anyone else thinks about it. I nearly forgot the base has one of the slightly rough dull bases which made me think it was very new?

Some of my studio glass has that kind of base and one piece is 25 years old - so not necessarily new  It's very pretty your vase! I can't read the signature though as I am seeing it as blurred. Any chance of a clearer pic please? thanks m |

Hi flying free it is a preety little thing there is so much of this type of thing in shops being sold these days i never thought to think it might be that kind of age! Its very hard to take the signature with this cam but i will have a better one at the weekend so i will try again then. The vase will go to my g/f as she collects ditchfield and this is more affordable for me ive never bought her ditchfield its to expensive i think it great!!  |

Definitely Peter Layton. Probably missing the original stopper.

She'd better be - I'd rather a Peter Layton over a Ditchfield. (Sorry Mr D). I'm a sad singleton who has to buy her own glass - but at least I get what I want!

I first met Peter Layton in 1977 and began selling his work through our family gallery, Coleridge of Highgate in 1980. Coincidentally, my Zest Gallery is taking Peter's work to SOFA New York this year. http://www.sofaexpo.com/NY/2010/exhibitor/zest/index.html http://www.zestgallery.com/work.php?showExhibition=372 scroll down to see some of Peter's work. While I haven't been selling Peter's work continually for 30 years, that's quite a long association :-) While it is quite difficult to date your piece, I think it was probably made between 1979 and 1985, and would have sold in the £75-£120 range. So quite a bargain! |

Thanks aa love the links also it really is a mind boggling site this glass messages you can speak to all manner of people with real expertise im happy about that little vase now!! I wonder do you think it may be a perfume bottle or a small vase and would it be difficult to buy a replacement stopper from mr layton? Im thinking i might keep the vase now lol is his early work becoming good value for money in terms of an invesment for the future are his works appreciating at all. |

I would think a good investment, and much more fun than earning 1% in a bank :D
and i wouldnt worry too much about a stopper, i like it as it is.
Cheers
Andy

You could try emailing him and asking if it should have a stopper, and if so what would a new one cost http://www.londonglassblowing.co.uk/frameset.html |
