Topic: Think I'm obsessed with flame pontil marks

[Nemmie]

I have one with a flame pontil mark and a label that has a flame pontil mark on it.

One what, Nemmie?

[Nemmie]

It's a vase.

Oh, Blue and White Swirls. I'm impressed - (John will be too). That's a scarce early piece.

[glassobsessed]

I am.

Very interesting to see it with a flame mark, blue and white is usually found with the 'coachbolt' mark. Are there any areas with white enamel rather than clear glass Nemmie? The white patches can get stretched and tenuous (it may be that white was not added). Can't say I have seen a cylinder vase in blue before either, very nice.

Chris, given where you are and looking at these two:

http://www.uredale.co.uk/website/Products.htm - they use the little stick man with blow pipe stamp on their bases (shown on the link above.)

Just blue swirls and bubbles and clear glass although parts of the blue are lighter than others there is no actual clear white. So it looks like they missed it out.

I didn't realise that they used a flame pontil label as well as the actual flame pontil mark itself. I suppose most of them are washed off.

What lovely glass from Uredale Anne, and I think I can see the little 'bubble' on the end of the blow pipe, Chris, in your pontil mark. Is it worth asking them if it is one of theirs? They are lovely clear pictures to send them.
I love all the little quotes on the website.....very reflective.

I've only read two of the quotes - they sent me scurrying  :wsh: - grammatically correct English, but just meaningless, irritating, new-age twaddle!
Sorry, Rosie   :hug:

Let me hijack this thread - I assume everyone with some insight in sig prunts will get drawn here.

The prunt is a hand holding a flaming bowl.

it is found on the underside of a lidded pineapple.

 :huh:
