I have looked on Pamela's wonderful site (at vases) - fairly sure it's not Bagley, and still don't have the Sowerby discs - so have exhausted my meagre efforts for the moment, and just wondered if one of the vase experts recognised this piece. Very attractive citrine colour, I think, and would imagine a difficult piece to produce with such a massively flared top. About 250mm tall - and about 240mm wide, with quite a lot of base wear, and do people think a 'deco' style. My thanks for looking, and grateful for any replies.

Paul, would say it's Inwald 'AIGLON' (eagle) - see the Markhbeinn catalogue page here

Can't see your picture while writing this - have to look again for more details ;D

also appears as design R. Schrötter in Inwald's 1940 catalogue # 9496 'ORLOW' range (eagle)
and of course Marcus' CD: Rudolfova before 1958 page 8 :)

thanks Pamela - I admire your hardwork in giving us id's for these pre-war designs. Certainly looks like like the correct pattern in the Marckhbeinn catalogue - heavily fluted chevrons - although I wud take issue with the original artist :) Not sure about Deutsch, but in English we would use the word 'everted' to describe something with an extremity which is flared massively, in the way this vase is. Looking at the artists picture, I dont think he/she has reproduced accurately the extent of the flare of the piece - bearing in mind the diameter of the top which is only 10mm less than the overall height of the vase! In the flesh the top really does blow out. But what the hell, I couldn't have drawn the picture, neither could I find the right source. I see also, in the heading of the first page that they had email in 1932 ;D Anyway, thanks again from the U.K.

Paul, very nice and typically Inwald quality piece, the square foot is purely Inwald :D
I think these vases come from one and the same mould and are everted or inverted afterwards, but as long as still hot and flexible enough.
The exact shape of yours is offered by Markhbeinn in their 1933 catalogue on page 12 in three heights (i.e. three moulds): 20, 25 and 30 cms, and, amongst many other shapes, also a wider one of only 18 cms height which came with a flower support - all items of this huge range on this special page had no email :24:
Here's a green bowl, plate:

Flaring like that is not difficult but it does require skill IYSWIM; as Pamela says it's done by hand after the pressing. Almost all pressed or mould blown pieces that have a curved top (in either direction) are hand finished.

Pamela/Anne/Antiquerose/Lustrousstone/Glen - If only my wife had as much time for me as you girls. ;) But seriously, my thanks for everyone's input, and although I may not always remember to say so, as a beginner I do really appreciate your knowledge and help.
