Leni — cf Gulliver p91 bottom left and p93 bottom right, both Walsh mother of pearl (not here the modern American collectors' term for air-trap), although the opal flashing has almost disappeared on the first. I suspect Gulliver was reluctant to attribute the first to Walsh because of S&W 403585 (seaweed trails), and because he had not seen an example with stronger opal flashing like the one I had a year or so back.
Anyway check the feet. As you will see they are the same style and methodology and match the rest of your thorn vases. I believe Walsh made a goodly proportion of these vases, possibly most or even all of them. Certainly your latest acquisitions demonstrate innovations in colour that are typical of what we know about Walsh.
Also note that the seaweed trails on the cornucopia are a different glass to the feet. Evidence that two chairs were involved, one making the vase and the other the feet, timed so that the two were ready for joining together at the same moment. I think this applies to all your thorn vases. I've seen this at Formia — it's like a beautifully choreographed ballet.
