Royal Brierley Studio topic
keith:
More information found today, early on Mark Hill spoke about a vase produced by the Harris family in 1986, the dark iridescent 'gold' on blue/ purple colourway is called 'shadow' range. It now appears the 'Studio' range was started before this date with most of the designs by glass artist Gwyneth Newland ( now Ashcroft ) the research continues and there may be an exhibition of Royal Brierley Studio glass at the motorcycle museum this coming November,thanks to Mr Benson, ;D ;D if I can get organised :o ::) ;D
Gowdod:
Dear All,
I thought it was time to potentially add to the RB Studio parade. :D
I have a number of pieces and add to them when I can. This one I've not seen before hence thought I share it.
So here goes, unsigned, 10cm tall, unusual shape however the colourway is fab. My eyes say a light mauve through to a light lilac ( thinned out ) graduated from top to bottom with a good surface finish at the top again thinning out and minimising to the base. Same base and top finishes to my other pieces.
Happy days.
With kind regards
Andrew

Today I got a standard vase that came with a box and small leaflet advertising the 'Samba' range ( see image ) of which this is one of 14 ! including a carafe, bowls, bud vases and wine glasses, it seems I have a way to go to get them all ! ::) ;D ;D

Keith, could you please tell me about the dressing table set mentioned above? I would like to add details to GTS. Ta!
keith:
Will do Anne,
In response to Andrew's post I'm afraid your vase is Heron glass not RB'y, sorry, ;D
Gowdod:
Keith,
fiendish clever these glass guys.
I'll stick with signature pieces in future. ;D
Thanks as always.
With kind regards
Andrew
