The amber is not a Wedgwood colour, neither is the design....

wedgwood did make "one off's"
and many pieces they did not sign

[Lustrousstone]

It still doesn't look like a Wedgwood piece.

It's very hard to tell what sort of quality this is from the photograph, but I'm sure I've had sets of things like this come into a charity shop where i was working and the quality wasn't up to that of Wedgwood.

I'd always assumed this sort of piece was from the Empoli region of Italy, but could easily believe it to be Czech or Polish as Christine suggests.

Wedgwood did amber!!!!!

[chopin-liszt]

Yes, Dinklepip,  :hi: they do, but their amber is a glowing rosy one, like the golden amber of WFs, Webb or Stuart.
(and yes, I know they're all different to each other, but they're all rosyglowing)

I can't see from the photograph of this bit what angles the top and base are to the stem, or how well constructed it is.
The stem itself looks a bit crudely done and the top rim looks simply polished flat.
I've got a Brancaster in my sticky mitts, and the top rim is both polished and bevelled.

The bowl of this bit has a thick base, with a thick sloping bit where it joins the walls, making for a more rounded, bird bathy shape at the bottom inside.
The base of this Brancaster is thinner, and the bowl is much wider and flatter at the bottom because the angle at the base and the walls is much sharper.

But not in that yellowish shade of amber.

The amber

Sorry, are you asking for help, or giving information?? From this quote you appear to know more than most. If this is a factual assertion, perhaps you would be kind enough to tell more and, if possible, give the source (Thanks)  

The pieces that were not 'signed' (acid etched backstamp of manufacturer) would have had labels that have long since been seperated from the vessel and therefore are identified by the known ranges and colours. The amber colour made by Kings Lynn and Wegdwood is called Topaz and is totally different from your candlestick, which has a prevalance of yellow on my screen - and not the rosy-amber that is referred to by Chopin-Liszt.

Neither the stem construction, nor the colour are synonimous with known Stennett-Willson designs, so it would be very good to know more. It's always good to gain new information 

Many thanks, Nigel

Brancaster in Topaz, for comparison...

[glassobsessed]

Ah, maybe less confusion If I had said "this amber" rather than "the amber".

In relation to the original amber not Nic's Brancasters.
