Leni — Your mushroom posy four cut bars pattern is echoed in Stuart vase square bases (Benson & Hayhurst #69, #70), whereas the three short rim cuts are Walsh/Farquharson
Ayr pattern (Reynolds fig.152).
Anne — Your foliage on the mushroom posy is Walsh (Reynolds fig.56 (iii)), whereas the very low angled cuts (Benson calls them "mitre cuts") of the rose petals are a well-known Stuart/Kny feature (Benson & Hayhurst #17–19, #22–27, #63–68).
Two excellent examples of how you can "prove" the attribution you desire by picking the appropriate feature.
That's why I like three independent features to support an unmarked cut attribution. :angel:
Grateful thanks to both of you, and I hope someone comes up with marked examples of your respective posy vases to provide a certain attribution.

Moderators: please, eventually, can this particularly useful topic be archived for reference. It's not often that we have such a clear example of the hazards of attribution.
