Latest monart shape WF
« on: June 03, 2014, 02:51:16 PM »
Hi everyone,
This is my latest acquisition, shape WF, ( I believe this is quite a rare shape so if anyone else out there has one please post pictures!) almost 6" high - an unrecorded size on Ysartglass. The usual orange /yellow/brown colourway but this also has occasional blobs of red. Applied foot with surface colouring.
The glass is quite thick which is emphasised more by it's small size.

I've also shown it with a couple of my other new orange pieces:
Shape OF which at 6.5" high is probably a size VIII (6.75")
Shape CC (original shape) which is 8" high - again an unrecorded size on Ysartglass.
I have been looking at the original catalogue pictures and to me the shape EA and CC look the same - but in the later photographs they have both changed shape quite considerably! There is an 8" size in the EA  - can anyone shed light on this similarity of the originals?

Hopefully getting settled soon and then at last a chance to get on with websites.

Are you sure its in applied foot and not shaped? Cannot tell from pics.

Definitely applied - exactly the same as on my bowls with the colour applied on the outside!
