I bought this pair of vases recently, that I've been unable to place:
Vases (http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/albums/userpics/10019/jade.jpg)
Base View (http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/albums/userpics/10019/jade_bases.jpg)
They're made in a three part mould. After reading Chris Stewart's page on Davidson Jade, I tested them with a UV light; there's no florescence. The colour is quite even. No marks or registration number that I can discern.
As ever, I'm very grateful for any help.

I believe this is Josef Inwald's work. Czech glass - the vase is known to Carnival collectors as Coronet aka Princeton. It has been seen with a Rd number in marigold Carnival, but I have only seen one example thus marked.
I have a 1928 Pottery Gazette ad for Clayton Mayers that shows this vase.
The base will be ground.

Hi Glen - thanks.
With the name, I've found a photo of the carnival versions of these now. The bases though are fire-polished rather than ground (however the whole vase seems quite fire-polished, much less crisp looking than the photo of the carnival ones on David Doty's site).
Also, these are only about 6½" tall.
