Topic: Wrythen with bubbles,help please

[keith]

8 inches high,polished pontil mark,the dealer thought WF's I think maybe Webb or Stuart any other options? :huh:

nice piece Keith  -  controlled bubbles then, or a bit random, I can't quite make out.

[keith]

Paul;controlled but not that well,you could say

[ahremck]

With such neat controlled bubbles I would not discount a Scandinavian maker - although many would have markings, some do not.

Over the years I have had a number of items with this technique. I still have a couple in store in crates that contain other items of Thomas Webb. NOT because I know that they are by Webb, rather that I have always associated them with that company, by style and quality, etc..

To date there has been no 'official' recognition through information published, or through my own research. Although to be fair I haven't done as much on them as other factories.

Thanks Ross,Nigel,one to ponder over 

[Paul S.]

However, I think you did a tad better than I did Keith       http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,40077.msg221750.html#msg221750

Knew I'd seen something similar recently

[Paul S.]

Hello Keith  -  just had a look in Dodsworth's 'British Glass between the wars'  -  page 47 showing four examples of Webb's larger vases  - and they all seem to share a common foot shape, which is a lot different to yours.     Also, the blue example shown in the book, appears (although screens can play havoc with colours) to be less blue than yours.      Just some random thoughts, but you may care to look at the book yourself.

Thanks Paul,only had the book a couple of weeks,I see what you mean the foot clearly different and the blue is deeper very much like a WF's piece I have although from this pic' it's difficult to tell,maybe Scandi' could be an avenue worth looking down?
