Monart Paisley shawl
« on: November 04, 2015, 03:09:06 PM »
My latest Monart just arrived today. It is shape C, size code V11 (7" tall) and colour code 63.
In the auctioneers catalogue it was said to have been in the M. Parkington collection. Indeed there is a label shown in photo 3.
I have the M Parkington catalogue from that date and lot 440 is the same shape and decoration as mine, but the one I have is 18cm tall the one in the M Parkington catalogue is 22cm.
IMHO it is not the same vase, my quandary is do I remove the label or not.

Hi Gary,

Lovely vase...one day I may get a paisley shawl of my own....... ;)
would you call it red or orange?

I think the label is just referring to similar one in the Parkington collection not that it is the Parkington one, though I do believe the auction house may have implied that is was from his collection. May as well leave it on as it's on the base.

(still searching for a lamp shade...then I can post some pics)

I'd leave the label on.

Thanks Roberta and M, I would put in my top ten of Monart pieces in my collection.
Most definitely red.
One more photo, this with a lamp behind the vase.

Not as Hallow'een-ey as Roberta's Gary, but still enough to make me quite green.  ;D

I was confuddled there - I thought it was Roberta's red one which was back-lit and all spooky, not the other Gary's.
Your (Millerart) one isn't spookily back-lit. And it's blue, it would be more of an ice cave, or representing the Arctic or Anarctic. Not bonfires and blood!
