Topic: possible Inwald 'Lord' range Celery

[Paul S.]

I don't seem to have any luck with finding the Inwald catalogues anywhere - I don't see them on Pamela's Master Books??
This looks as though it should be from the 'Lord/Jacobean' range  - perhaps a Celery - so grateful if someone can confirm.
Flat ground/polished outer rim to the foot, so I'm guessing pre 1940 - but little wear.     7.25"/172mm tall, and unmarked.   There isn't a beans worth of water staining, so I'm thinking never used as a vase.          thanks for looking.

Look in the CD with Marcus' book and you'll find the pre-1958 Rudolfova Hut' catalogue which shows many of the Lord items. (RH was formerly Inwald.)

Paul, Mark Hill has a picture of this footed vase on page 9 of Hi Sklo Lo Sklo.  There is also a picture of it in Marcus Newhall's book on page 56.  It's a Rudolf Schrotter design (Lord range) for Rudolfova/Inwald.  Newhall says 1921, Hill says 1922.

Edit:  The pattern number from the catalogue is 7604 (190mm diameter) c. 1921

[Paul S.]

oh, gosh, very many thanks to both of you, it was late at night and the brain had obviously gone to bed before me.      And knowing that RH was formerly Inwald I have overlooked - very useful to know this for future possible Inwald pieces.   Kept wondering why I couldn't find Inwald catalogues anywhere.    I do of course have both books AND the CD, so tonight I will be able to see the details of which you speak.
Anik do you really mean  190MM DIAMETER  -  might that be the height?           thanks again

[Anik R]

I'm also confused about the 'size' -- the catalogue says 190mm, but Marcus has 190mm DIAMETER in his database search thing.  Mark Hill writes that his example is 7.5in.  

[Anne]

Size should be 190mm high, if it's a diameter it's shown in the catalogue with the Ø mark alongside the dimension (normally!) If the database says diameter it's a mis-transcription. 190mm = 7½inches as Mark says.

[Anik R]

190mm = 7½inches as Mark says.

Thank you, Anne.  But I must say, though I more often than not give the impression that I'm not the sharpest pencil in the box, I'm not THAT thick.  :spls:

[Anne]

Did I say something wrong Anik?

[Anik R]

oops...   I think I'm just being a little grumpy. :[   Forgive me. 

[Anne]

Nothing to forgive Anik :kissy: I was just worried I'd offended you in some way.

The business of mm = inches is one which always seems to raise questions cos a lot of us struggle with one of the other (as do I, being older then decimalisation, without my trusty tape measure beside me! :24:)
