Topic: id request and confirmation of use for Celery

[Paul S.]

not a vase (I don't think) - not a pitcher - not a jug  -  so believe possible a 'Celery', although I have never previously found this style/shape  -  and I have cleaned it, but still some slight cloudiness. 260mm/10.25 inches tall  -  very circular and clean ground/polished concave pontil mark, and the base also ground and polished flat.    I thought at first it was a piece of 'Kris - Tol'/Chippendale ware, but am convinced it is all cut  -  I can pick up side to side grinding/polishing marks on the very large side panels, and where the base meets the sides it is also bevelled.     The top rim swags are also all ground/polishes/bevelled.   No marks unfortunately, but has a look of quality.   Do people think it is a Celery - and what sort of age might it have - the base wear makes me think 1930 - 1940 perhaps.   Possibly a lost cause, but thanks for looking.

Hello

I don't think it is a celery.  Typically the bowl depth of a celery is in the range of +/- 6 inches or so.

creep .........and I so wanted it to be a Celery :cry:....I'm still trying to get my head round....."+/- 6 inches or so". Wouldn't this make it either a very small, or very big vase?   do we not mean "about 6" +/- a little".   However, thanks to all, but I remain  0.1% unconvinced.

Sorry to confuse you, I am just saying the bowl should be around 6 inches in depth if it is a celery.

It's an umbrella stand! :wsh:

Sorry, no actually it's a vase.

Nice piece with the rim and facets cut and polished.
