Getting back to the fabulous vase, according to my reading (with extra close-up glasses and a magnifing glass) there seems to be the number 45897 under this shape of vase in the image of the catalogue on p.141 of Hajdamach's 20th century book.
We know it's Webb, we know it's Sunshine Amber, we know it's not the intaglio cut of Waterlilies which is the "normal" standard in the Gay Glass range.
We know Frank had one, now with Parkington, so it's unlikely to be a complete one-off, (unless this turns out to be the same vase).
So has anybody any idea where this fabulous cut originated, who may have designed it, who cut it and was there somebody behind commissioning this unusual design?
