Help with identification please
« on: June 03, 2008, 06:27:35 PM »
Can anyone out there help me with an identification on a piece I've just bought ?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350062536246

My father-in-law is an avid raspberry grower, so it's probably a future Christmas present, but having just looked it over I can confirm there's no sign of a signature or mark at all. It also feels newish (last 20 years ?).

The pictures are very true to life - I'd guess some sort of lithograph / screenprint effect on a blank, then cased and blown.

Looks interesting, and not bad for 45 euros!
Let us know how the painting or whatever is put on when you receive it,
the pattern looks Deco ish, may be 30s, Scandi or Bohemian, add a photo of the base,
it could, of course , have been made yesterday, but id say a good gamble ;)

The enamel is cased in, it might have been done using a transfer and some hand painting, not screen printing (although it is possible). The lining included some other material that vapourised when it was cased. I would not discount it being a studio piece..

thanks everyone.
Looking at it carefully I agree that a transfer sounds about right.
Peill would make sense also, will keep my eyes open to try and find some further examples on the net

Regards
