Paul S.:
My sincere apologies Suzy - that was a genuine slip on my part :-[. You are quite correct of course, it is IOWSG - and because I had been looking in Mark Hill's book and thinking of Mdina I confused myself. It has, of course, the flame pontil mark, and is very similar to the vase on page 86 (lower left) in Mark Hill's book - although my piece is a little taller at 9". I have attached a few pictures as requested, including the base. Thanks again for bringing the error to my notice.
Reference: 'Michael Harris - Mdina Glass & Isle of Wight Studio Glass' - by Mark Hill - 2006.

This is a really early example of azurene - the flame pontil mark was phased out shortly after this range was developed, though I'm sure if you're trawling through the book you've worked this out for yourself.
Well done :hiclp:

Andy McConnell's lectures are great, he is entertaining, informative and enthusiastic.
I heard him speak on the subject of 20th century glass a few years ago when an antiques society in Cardiff booked him and I was lucky enough to gatecrash.

Lucky you - I've also heard he's very good, well worth emailing him for dates of forthcoming lectures & talks. :thup:
Paul, I'd willingly move back if it wasn't for all that traffic and hoards of people - civilized I don't think so.. :spls:
Paul S.:
You're right in many ways Steph - traffic is mind blowing - noisy - M25 is the biggest car park in the world - yes, and even the hoards of people detract from the peace and quiet of the country lanes - I've often thought of going up to Wales to escape from it all. Some little slate roofed, white walled cottage - the villagers would touch their forelocks each time they saw me......and of a quiet summer's evening I could walk to the village pub and have a decent peaceful drink, watch the bats catching moths in the silent warmth of a late June night.......................AND THEN I REMEMBER........I'd be miles from all the decent boot sales :cry: :cry:
If someone finds out about any dates for Andy McConnell - please do let me know. thanks.
