Stourbridge pot?
« on: August 24, 2016, 06:15:23 PM »
Evening all,

Is this a Stourbridge pot, by any chance? The colours are stronger in the flesh than the photos would suggest: light pink interior cased by pale custard yellow exterior which glows strongly under a blacklight. Polished slightly concave base with slight scar. Lots of wear to foot ring. Approx 8cm tall.  Makes me crave rhubarb and custard for some reason  ::). Any opinions would be appreciated.

Looks like a nice piece of Webb's Burmese (shiny version) to me. Well done

Thank you, Christine. The best 50p I spent at the car boot today. Well, to be absolutely accurate the only 50p that I spent today as it was otherwise fruitless. Whether it was worth a 100 mile round trip is highly debatable!

It almost certainly was assuming fuel cost you about £10 and the posy is undamaged

It's a nice little pot though I'm not sure about the Webb Burmese attribution as this looks like pink cased in custard. Burmese is an uncased heat-struck effect and as such shows a gradual variation in colour from pink shading through to yellow.

Here's a Webb Burmese vase for comparison:

Did John Walsh Walsh use those colours?

John Walsh Walsh did use the reverse of the crushed strawberry colour and was called Flora glass.
