Topic: identification for deep bluey green vase.

[Paul S.]

I'm taking a punt that this is British - and it comes vaguely in connection with the post by Keith re his 'Bristol Green Cider Jug' - in which Keith has posted his 'W/Fs vase which appears to continue this same 'bluey green' colour.         The attached - which also appears to be the same colour -  is a tad over 7.25"/about 185mm tall  - very high quality ground/polished concave pontil mark - straight sided - and with very noticable interior hoops, giving the optical ribbing as shown in the picture.   The glass is of a substantial thickness.     I've looked on the Whitefriars.com colour identification guide, and the only one it seems to come near is 'Aqua' (greenish blue) - but my vase seems too deep and rich for that  -  so now a bit confused, and any suggestions gratefully received.     thanks for looking.

My thanks as always Emmi -  I did look in Leslie Jackson, but it appears there isn't a single example representing this colour.    Have you considered producing a new book - something with emphasis on illustrating colours/designs of all the patterns, rather than concentrating on a an academic text.   Quality pictures are the single most essential aid to accurate identification - accompanied by a very brief guide to size range and date, perhaps.   More comprehensive than Jackson, but vastly cheaper than the other one - and I will be your first customer at somewhere between £35. and £50. per copy - and we both know a professional proof reader, don't we. :ooh: :fc:
