Large pink glass flower bowl with chrome stand... id = Sowerby
Leni:
--- Quote from: "Glen" --- looks as if it has the same proportions as the Sowerby 2634.
--- End quote ---
:shock: So are we to assume that there are possible variations in this Sowerby design, as in the Bullrush vases, which can have the rushes straight up or turned out, and in the Bagley Equinox bowls, just as a couple of examples?
If this is so, it looks like there might be many more designs than the 'basic' ones I thought I had learned to recognise! :shock: :roll:

Good morning, Anne
my 'Sowerby Tyneside' jardiniere measures 24.8 cms across and 12 cms high. Unfortunately the bottom of yours is invisible through the lattice - is there a star? Perhaps you may add another photo :wink:
Anne:
Here you are Pamela... a closeup of the inside star pattern base and another shot showing the bowl upside down.

Thanks for the measurements of your piece. :)
pamela:
Anne, looks very similar - forgot to count the rays this morning - if there are twenty also in mine... returning to you tomorrow!
Thank you for your endeavours on my site - shall upload further ids from you also tomorrow!
Best wishes,
Pamela

Sowerby certainly did shape "standard" items differently on some pieces. One that benefited from a range of fabulous shapings is the Diving Dolphins bowl (at least six different edge shapings). Even little differences such as the cupping in or flaring out of a vase mouth, can be found, for example on the "Derby" vase. And of course, the Iris and Lily vases are a good example of variation, along with the Frog & Bullrushes vase that Leni mentioned.
From time to time a "whimsey" turns up too (a quirky shape that wasn't "in the line"). I have a very weird and wonderful "Pineapple" shape (Sowerby's 2349). :?
However, I hadn't seen one of those 2634 salads (aka jardiniere shape) flared out like that before. It's a beauty. Incidentally, in Carnival Glass (yes it's known in Carnival) we call that pattern "Jagged Edge".
