Title: Monart mushroom posy TF colour 396 - actually colour code 261
Post by: flying free on September 11, 2012, 09:59:42 AM
This was another addition to my 20's and 30's collection.  It has orange, lime green, pale aqua blue/green and lavender/grey in it, all in a creamish mottled background full of masses of bubbles and aventurine splashes.  I think it is colour code 396?
It's slightly wonky and the size is not 5 1/2" or 7" but actually 6 1/8" diameter.  Height is 2 3/4".

My very, very favourite mushroom posy shape (so much more elegant than any other) - and a beautiful colourway - shown off to its best advantage by the shape. 8) 8) 8)

Lovely - I have never had a Monart mushroom posy, I do currently have a Vasart one - yours is much nicer though.

Thanks all :)
Gary, thanks :)  I was pondering 261 but it says the splashes are red?  these are definitely orange and it seemed closer to 396 to me :-\

ooh thanks for that - fabulous pics!  I love that bowl.  I will ask the mods if they could amend the title.

You better watch out flying free one more piece and you have a collection of Ysart glass. I sold the bowl to a friend a couple years ago.

mmm, I've been keeping quiet but I do have three Vasart bowls now and another Monart vase.  The Monart is badly cracked at the base but is quite beautiful in my eyes.  I'll post it separately though you've probably seen it before anyway.
