I call this little find 'Not an Audrey', because it hasn't got 'thorns' or 'tree-root feet'. However, she is a bit Audrey-like :roll: and I wonder where and when she was made? http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-1857
The bowl appears to be uranium (or some other UV reactive :twisted: ) glass, while the stem and foot is not. http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-1855
Does the stemware-style foot and knop indicate a later date than the 'root' feet? I was sold this with a label saying c1910, wheras I tend to think of my other 'Audreys' and 'Triffids' as being c1880. Or am I expecting too much precision in dating these types of glass? :oops: :roll:
Also, I admit I always tended to think Stourbridge, but since people have said this sort of glass object was also made in 'Bohemia' :twisted: :roll: I just don't know any more :shock: :? Are their ways to tell? Other than seeing an exact copy in a catalogue, I mean :?
BTW, I found this one at Dagfields while visiting son, d-i-l & grandchildren at the weekend. I love Dagfields! :D

So it's your fault we had dodgy weather up here :evil: It's very nice Leni :mrgreen:

Thanks Christine :D BTW, we had wonderful weather! Well, a little bit of rain late on Friday afternoon, but otherwise fantastic!
I've edited the title of this thread, in case people don't know about my collection of 'Audreys' yet :oops: :roll:
Not that I usually get much response re my Victorian Vaseline! :( Is it only me, thee, and Mr Vaseline Glass interested in this sort of thing? :? :shock:
Well, more for us, I suppose :twisted: :lol:

I'm interested in Vaseline as well Leni, but I rarely see any around here at a price I'm prepared to pay.Most of mine is later than Victorian though.
