Need help with decorated vaseline marmalade - Stourbridge
mrvaselineglass:
I just got this in the mail today. I collect vaseline marmalade dishes, and also have a lot of file photos of other people's collections of vaseline marmalades. I have never seen a marmalade before with original paint.
I know that this is Stourbridge region. It is satin vaseline opalescent, polished pontil, typical size. The amount of uranium is not overpowering. The piece does glow, but not 'knock your socks off' kinda glow under UV.
Anyone know of any of the glass factories that might have had a decorating department? Or, does anyone recognize the shape? I have seen this shape before that was vaseline satin/opalescent, without the decorations, and my note on the photo says "possibly powell", but i don't know if I put that notation there, or if it was something that the seller noted in their description and I copied to the photo.
the two photos after the marmalade are close ups of a couple of the flowers.

Dribble, dribble. I was lusting after that one but I don't have any answers
Max:
lol I saw that too and saw Dave bidding on it, so I gave him clearance. ;) Dang, we're good to you Dave, eh? :-*
mrvaselineglass:
I DO appreciate the pass you two gave me on this one! The seller usually doesn't like to do paypal, but made an exception (i asked before bidding) and I told her I would pay all paypal fees. The shipping cost was more than the end price on the auction! There were no key words in her title and she had it listed under GLASS>OTHER.
Leni:
Hi Dave! Can I ask how you 'know' this is Stourbridge? Is there a design in a pattern book that it matches? Or are you going by something else? (Just wanting to learn! :D)
I've just got a copy of Gulliver's 'Victorian Decorative Glass' and I'm drooling my way through it, but this marmalade looks to me as if it might be a little bit later - perhaps Edwardian? The style of the flower painting reminds me of the decoration on my Edwardian display cabinets. http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/albums/userpics/Edwardian_cabinet_painted_flowers_2.jpg

Unfortunately, Gulliver doesn't seem to be able to give many definite ID's, but we know Webb definitely had a decorating department of course, as lots of their Burmese ware was painted. I don't know which others did, but I would guess others definitely would have done. Anyone else have any ideas?
