Topic: Speckled bumpy crackled vase

Cheers Andy, I'll keep my eyes on that one, Its definitely by the same maker as mine, seller seems to sell a lot ' Victorian studio handblown glass vases 'Cheers for the heads up, D.

[Andy]

I have my doubts about the "Victorian " bit. I think hes just saying that cos its got a pontil mark.

[Lustrousstone]

I wonder if Stevens and Williams/Royal Brierley is a possibility for these. The vase reminds me of their D107 pattern, which is illustrated in Big Book of Vaseline Glass on p  110 in green uranium crackle and the colours would fit.

Thanks Christine, I will see if I can do some digging on the makers you mentioned, I dont have the book you mentioned but I will see whats on the www, thanks far all the help everyone, cheers, D

could this be Nailsea Glass...?

[KevinH]

Not "Nailsea Glass", which normally has either looped decoration or large "blobs" and I don't think "Nailsea" would include crackled.

[KevinH]

On a bit of a long shot, I wonder whether these unidentified items might have a connection to the speckled /crackled pieces? Waisted shape and base finishing have some broad similarity.

[Lustrousstone]

No, Nailsea is another one of those overused words. Nailsea glass is generally white loops on a coloured background, and the Nailsea works closed in the 1870s. These pieces are newer.

I'm not convinced Kev.

Hi, I had a look (  through google images ) at some Nailsea glass and some of the images do look similar, but the vase I have seems to be a lot more ' busy ' All the Nailsea glass that looked similar you could see through quite easily, not so with my little mystery :huh: I also had a look at as much Stevens and Williams / Royal Brierley glass pics and info and just cant see anything that looks right as a maker.AGGHH,  still no use worrying I've got loads more I have no idea about either!! This one I think will find its way onto Ebay so if any ones interested watch this space. TO A MOD, is it okay for me to use a link to this thread on my Ebay listing?
Cheers, David

Hi KevH, I think your vase and the one I have do look very similar, yours might be a bit more ' waisted ' than mine but I think the best bet so far. So, one little purple vase thought not to be Vasart or Nazeing. ID still unknown :thup:
