Topic: Monart shape TA

[Gary]

Got this tall elegant(10.5 inches) TA shaped vase at my local auction. It has been a good month or so for my collection with this being the third shape that I don't have.

Gary,
I have just had a look in the cupboard upstairs, I could offer you a matching vase with complete W2 ware label 

ps Unfortunately it's colour code 96 so I will just have to keep it.

Thats a pity Keith I have not got a piece with that colour code  .

Thanks Gary, below is an image of my one and only W2 labeled piece, Z shape ginger jar with colour code 156.

very nice ginger jar, i will have to look mones out and put it on display, though its just basic green with the blue slighty through ti if i remember , it does have a full label , come on Keith post a pic then,

Gary dont know how to break this to you but your label isnt a W2 its a W3 label

[luckyslap]

I was just about to make comment when you replied Millarart. However as you requested here is the W2 label from the TA vase. Not perfect but good enough.

You are right Gary it is W3 ware label, got that wrong  . Though I do have a W1 label on a A shaped vase colour code 56.

Lol, W1 and W3 are quite common for Ware labels but W2 is the rare one, very nice Keith to see pic of yours, oh and Gary i sent you an email

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ok im thinking i worded the above wrong, the Ware labels arent common, i meant out of the three Ware labels used W1 and W3 are the ones seen the most with W2 being the rarest out of the Wares to have been seen, thought id better say this before someone picks up on it, i myself aint that bothered if a piece is labeled or not as long as i like the piece, but guess it helps age a piece when they are labeled and if colour coded the all the better, specially when its a colour unknown, though saying that i think in a few cases unless theres more than one of the same colourway with a label stating the same code then how do you know its the correct code for that colourway as in the past myself and am sure most of us owns or has came across a labeled piece with the wrong colour code on it,
