Topic: Uranium flower bowl/vase ID please.

[Tinker-Taylor]

Hello

It's 6" tall and 10½" wide, and is a blue-green colour.  It's uranium (I was surprised to discover).

TIA
Stu.

Think we need pics against a plain white background for this one Stu, the brown makes it hard to assess colour or pattern.

Hi Anne

Yes, I wasn't too sure about those pictures either.  Hope these makes things a little easier.

Thanks,
Stu.

Stu — That flower holder is a close match to the one in Evelyn, see Pamela's website, and was also made by Sowerby.

Help.

I can find nothing for Evelyn under Sowerby on Pamela's website, though I have found the name under the Bernsdorf heading.   :huh:    

Confused (quite easily),
Bristol.

Stu — ?? — See http://www.pressglas-pavillon.de/vasen/03035.html

Note that Pamela has the flower holder BOTH upside down AND not located properly on the inside ledge of the vase, something which is almost impossible to achieve.

Hi Stu,
the shape is very similar to other Bernsdorf vases: Helvetia & Brittania
Thanks to Pamela for help on ID!

I have one in yellow green uranium but that blue green rules out Sowerby I think

[Tinker-Taylor]

Well thank you all very much for your kind replies.  Now it just comes down to what I sell it as.  "Bernsdorf" or "probably Bernsdorf"  ??

To me it´s an unidentified vase resembling the shape of some Bernsdorf
vases. Perhaps you should wait a while until someone recognises it precisely.
