It's easily done - don't go frying your brains! :-*

Although not the norm, ikora pieces are occasionally seen with pontil marks just like the one on this piece. Additionally, although not the norm, handled pieces were made and do exist. As I mentioned before, they are more commonly seen on Myra pieces, but handled ikora pieces were made and do exist. Anik, I would not rule out the possibility of an unusual piece of Ikora here, keep your dream alive.

I'd be interested in seeing pictures of Ikora vases with handles and/or items with unfinished pontils....anybody have any?? ;D

Paul, it would be fantastic if you could show us evidence of one-off and handled pieces. It's actually quite exciting to learn new information, especially when it disproves assumptions we've all made.
paulbowen:
I'll see what I can do. The pieces I'm thinking of belong to a friend of mine, so I'll have to clear photographing them with him first. If that works out, it wouldn't be before mid-June at the earliest, due to my work schedule. So stay tuned, I'll keep you posted. In the meantime, you'll just have to take my word for it, but it is true - although not common, pontil marks and handles are occasionally (very occasionally) found on WMF glass.
