I remembered reading this thread ages ago and I've just come across something related to this vase. On page 252 of Charles Hajdamach's 20th Century British Glass plate 528 there is an absolutely stupendous vase engraved by Peter Dreiser called 'The Price of Oil' - the vase has a dark shoulder neck and rim where the dark part goes further down the vase than the vase in this thread, and then is  paler from under the dark shoulder downwards.  The fish on the engraving are all in the paler section facing upwards trying to get through the globules of oil on the 'surface' i.e. the darker shoulder and neck of the vase.  The vase was blown by Barry Cullen, the whole piece is utterly fantastic imho - the combination of the blown and the engraved and the use of the colour.

I know the piece you mean. It is really excellent.

I agree, it's a stunning piece of work.

Not related to this thread really...a little diversion but with the common link being the engraver,  I also think Peter Dreiser's 'Drowning of the Innocents' is a scarily impactful piece of glass (Blown by Neil Wilkin) - In both cases the blown piece in combination with the obviously incredible engraving, the impact of the message being imparted, they are perfection in terms of engraved glass for me.

Ahem, I want those pieces. (Price of oil and drowning of the innocents) I've wanted them for YEARS and years and years. Paws off if they ever come up!
