Hi Jazz,
I would be interested to see a photo of anything that might be Molineaux & Webb, particularly with a Greek Key pattern as they used it a lot. I have been following the photos on this thread, and comparing them against some images I have from the Molineaux & Webb pattern book. Your images so far do not look close to items in the pattern book, but the Oxford Tea Party item comes pretty close to some designs in the "Centre Stands" section of the book. This would also suggest the date for the Oxford item, at least, is around mid 1850s.
Neil

Dear Neilh, Thank you for your reply and surprising information.This is another observation. I have noticed that on this website. Genesis of Molineux and Webb. There is a celery vase in the greek key pattern that predates the 1865 celery vase which seems to date from 1860 this has a domed foot. I have noticed that there is a compote and another celery vase with hollow stem. The other observation is that the stem which are on the two compotes that i have. This shape seems to appear on a few molineux and webb items. Also on this website there is a green candle stick which seems to date from an earlier period. This has what seems to be a domed foot of sorts. Where there any other firms that did hollow stems and domed foot. Also it it possible to scan the page from the pattern book that you mentioned and post it on here. Still no news from Chloe of photos of the compote. Regards Traditional Jazz.

Dear neilh, Another observation the Green Candlestick which i have mentioned above. The domed foot of this seems to be the same shape/form as the small compote that i have. Also there seems to be some sort of bullseye decoration on this candle stick domed base. Regards Traditional Jazz.

Hi Jazz,
I have yet to draw any conclusions on what may or may not be Molineaux & Webb from looking at foot & stems. All I can say is that if it mid Victorian and frosted, M&W is a possibility for comports and celery vases. About 10% of their patterns used a variation of the Greek Key. Really needs a photo to form a view...
