Topic: Cased Glass Rose Bowl Id Help Needed

[cxgirl]

Hi,
I have this rose bowl that I am trying to ID. It is about 6 1/2" from handle to handle and 5" in height. This glows green under a blacklight.
The colour on the top is more pink than it shows in the photos, fading to a very light pink at the base. Any ideas are appreciated.
thanks

Ooh Burmese wear if it glows. Nice one. Are you in the US? If so possibly Mount Washington. Don't think it's English and Webb

Burmese was the name I was trying to think of, thank-you Christine. I'm in Canada. I was hoping the handles would make this an easy ID.

Fenton is another possibility.

The birds remind me very much of Harrach. The plants are a bit simpler than the bird vases I have seen, but there was a lot of variability in their work. I have to put Harrach on the table as a possibility.

The vase looks more like peachblow to me in the picture.

Where in Canada are you cxgirl? I'm in Calgary.

I don't think Fenton as there is a pontil mark on the base, but could be wrong on this.
Yes, peachblow it is. Did Harrach leave pontil marks like the one on this base?
I have looked at Mt Washington pieces but the bases are all finished off, so I'll scratch them from the list.
I've had this for awhile and originally I had thought Webb - maybe Stevens and Williams?
Carolyn I'm on Vancouver Island.

Mary, I've had a few Harrach vases. I don't think that there is any certain pontil type. Their work is so variable. I think your UK suggestions are also good. It can be difficult to tell the difference between the two. I've read that many of the 19th Century vases that were thought to be British are probably Bohemian. It can get very confusing. Some Webb and Harrach enameled pieces are very similar to each other. I don't know how people can distinguish between them without signatures or catalogs. I guess it comes with experience.

Mary — By the same glass house and decorator and in the same time frame see topics:-

Burmese? ewer with enamel and gilt decoration — Id & date please

Crying over spilled vases!!

As you will see, lots of debate, but no positive attribution, yet.

So this range has now emerged in three countries — US, UK, and Canada.   Where next?

For what it is worth, Mt Washington Peachblow, which was only produced for a couple of years was not lined. If this was in fact Peachblow, Mt Washington would not be a possibility. New England Peachblow was also not lined and was deeper in color, and Webb Peachblow would have had a more yellow, or amber casing at the base and a deeper red at the top. It was lined with white. If it is Peachblow, it would most likely be European. Personally, I would look to English or Bohemian as the origin.

IMHO the artwork strikes me as Bohemian....  Are the little flowers on the branch ends Coralene or enamel? If they are Coralene, I think it would also strongly point to Bohemian, as the process was invented in Germany, and was popular from the mid 1880's to the 1920s.
