Topic: fir cone or pineapple pattern vase?

[Paul S.]

I'm fairly sure we had this pattern on the board in recent months, but can't now find where.    I have looked at both 'fir cone' and 'pineapple' patterns on David Dotty's site - but of course he may have this down as something else.   Also tried the search here and looked at Pamela's vases.       Height is about 8.1/8"/207mm, and with weak iridescence.   Fair amount of wear on the base as the pic. shows, so am thinking possibly some reasonable age.   Grateful if anyone can remember the pattern and/or factory please.   thanks

Most likely made by the Canning Town Glass Company.

These vases are usually called "Royal Pineapple".

thanks to both of you for taking the time to reply    Of course, had I remembered the word 'Royal', I would no doubt have found the link  -  but I wonder why the word 'Royal' - and do we know when the Canning Town Glass Company was active.  Rather a coincidence that the last two posts to show this pattern were both for a 'pair' of vases - and I assume we are talking of the Canning Town as in a suburb of Greater London, UK.

Could the word 'Royal' be a reference to the crowned top?
