Smokey grey Scandi? vase... - ID = Wedgwood

<< < (2/2)

Anne:
Great, thanks Marcus, much appreciated. :)

Sklounion:
Hi Anne,
See these two current eBay listings:
7385349883
7385847175

which appear to show two different, but labelled, variants of a Frank Thrower "Ming" vase.

Regards,

Marcus

Anne:
Thanks Marcus, they are really useful to see. They look the same variants as my two, except that both mine are the same height. It looks like the optic ribbed one was made in two sizes - 11 cm and 17 cm. Interesting that the plain one on eBay is etched and mine isn't, whereas the ribbed one on eBay is not etched and mine is. I wonder why this variation in marking items? (Other than to confuse folks like me!  :lol: )

Sklounion:
Merely date of production. Etched is earlier than plastic labelling.
One of the other Wedgwood threads has a date, I think, when etching was abandoned.
Regards,
Marcus

Anne:
OK, that makes sense. I'll go search for the other thread and have a read through. Thanks again Marcus. :)
