Cylindrical crackle vase with millefiori cane chips - ID = Strathearn
Bernard C:
Please click image or here for GlassGallery set of images with enlargements.
Height 8½" 21.5cm, constant diameter 4½" 11.2cm with no taper at all, ground and polished rim, no pontil scar, weight 2lb 7¼oz 1116g.
I'm fairly certain that the chips marvered into the pink/ruby casing before blowing into the final shape mould are millefiori cane chips as opposed to chips of coloured glass, but please correct me on this and anything else I may have wrong.
Please let me know if you need enlargements of any part of one of my images.
I did wonder if this was another style of Strathearn surface decorated vase — see here.
Thanks for your interest,

I think you're on the right track - but the polished/cut rim would suggest Stuart Strathearn rather than Strathearn, which tends to have a heat polished rim. :thup:
(but best to wait for somebody more knowledgable to confirm my opinion)
Bernard C:
Sue — Thanks. However I don't think the rim on my vase could have been reheated without spoiling the decoration, so that feature may not help with attribution.
I've been comparing the chips on mine to those on the linked vase, and I've noticed similarities, particularly some chips containing small spots of colour.

I'll ask my brother, Bernard. He has several pieces of "Granite" Strathearn. I'm sure, though, the rims are nice, round, smooth, heat finished ones. I suppose also it would depend if they were cased or not, though I'm positive Granite isn't.
The proportions of yours bit look more Stuart Strathearny to me, but that could be a trick of the camera angle.
chopin-liszt:
My brother agrees with you, Bernard - Strathearn.
He says the crackled bits of Granite aren't cased, and have these rims.
