Are all these Sowerby
« on: March 01, 2007, 11:31:00 PM »
The more I try to learn about glass the more I confuse myself :-[
I always thought all three of these vases were Sowerby, but now I doubt  that the little  one  on the right is. ???Can someone please set me straight again.

G'day Julie,

Glen will be in later to set us all straight, but just for the moment,

1. and 2. are "LILY" vases, which were made in 3 sizes: L/"lily" was 9", S/"lily" was 7", Posy Set was 5". Flint, blue green and amber. (According to Glen's CD, they first seem to appear in the mid 1930s, and were made well into the 1950s)

3. Hmm. You're right, I can't find it in either what I have on Sowerby or Bagley.

Will have to wait for the experts.

HI Cathy, Thanks for looking  :)
I don't know why I had always thought it was Sowerby.Must have bought it, looked at it quickly and just assumed it was the same as the Lily  ones, and into the display cabinet it went.What brought my attention to this was on eBay someone asked about one the same.  I took some pics of  my  Bagley's Equinox and Sowerby Lily for them to compare the difference.It was at this stage of pic taking I realised it was different. I looked at Glens Sowerby CD and Angelas Bagley Book, looked around on the internet but like you couldn't find an ID. Thought  it best to come here and ask the experts.

Thanks for looking Glen,  it is very   much appreciated.
I'll add this little one to my unknowns pile. Seems I am finding a few mysteries lately and the pile is growing. ;D
