Vasart or Strathearn for show
« on: June 07, 2014, 05:47:53 PM »
Hi,

Just picked up this 3.75" high V029.
The glass is much finer than my other V029s or my V037s (Vasart and Strathearn ones) so I thought it was maybe a Vasart, but the colours seems to sit better with my Strathearn pieces.
 
The colour is applied in a speckly way, rather than blobby, again more like Strathearn, with quite a reasonable amount of coppery gold aventurine.

The base has a roughly ground pontil scar with a polished base with a concentric "ring" effect on it which is not quite like any or my other pieces.

It's the thinner glass that is throwing me a bit otherwise I would say definitely Strathearn.

Unless it's a fake "Monart miniature" but it's not the right shape for a Monart!!  ;) ;) ;D

Has anyone any suggestions, theories, anything to add to this?  ???

I must admit the late Vasart / early Strathearn has me baffled at times.

I'd incline towards Strathearn, because of the colours. The quality of these small posy vases can vary a fair bit, some better than others, possibly because they were smaller, "bread and butter" pieces?

The speckly appearance might be related to their "Granite" way of doing pieces, perhaps?

Earth without art is just eh.
